CM Punk's return to WWE has sparked considerable buzz and controversy. Despite his triceps injury sustained at the 2024 Royal Rumble, Punk has consistently interfered in Drew McIntyre's matches, intensifying their feud and potentially setting up a SummerSlam showdown. Training and social media posts from TNA's Zachary Wentz and others indicate Punk's dedication to his comeback. Additionally, Punk's outspoken nature continues to stir the wrestling world, evident in his recent comments about Hulk Hogan and his past disputes in AEW. WWE has creatively integrated Punk into storylines, drawing praise from figures like Kevin Nash for maintaining his relevance without in-ring action.
