Ever since CM Punk was fired by All Elite Wrestling, a potential return to WWE has been the biggest discussion surrounding his in-ring future. It’s been speculated that this can actually become a reality, as relations between the two parties have improved significantly over the years.
With the possibility of the Best In The World’s return to the Stamford-based promotion at its peak, a lot of people have been asking if Punk will feature in the upcoming WWE 2K24. So let’s check out if this can actually happen in the fan-favorite video game’s 2024 edition.
Is CM Punk coming back to WWE ? Would WWE want him back? I honestly don’t know but if Him & WWE make a deal he should be the pre-order bonus for WWE 2K24 pic.twitter.com/rtM5A3vwoA

The Straight Edge Superstar is currently not signed with the Triple H-led promotion, so he’ll practically not feature in the game. But if the former AEW star eventually makes a WWE return later in the year, he’ll definitely make it to the upcoming game.
As Punk is one of the hottest prospects in the pro wrestling industry, the Stamford-based promotion could use him as a selling point. If Punk signs with WWE, the 44-year-old might be used as a pre-order bonus, as it can be a asset for a boost in sales of the video game.
It must be noted that WWE’s 2K24 game is set to be released on March 18, 2024, and fans have been demanding some special features in the game. Among all their demands, Punk’s return is a highly popular thing, and it’ll be interesting to see if it can actually turn into reality.
How do you unlock CM Punk in WWE 2K23?
Whether Punk will be in WWE 2K24 or not is a thing for the future; pro wrestling can get his character in the 2023 edition of the video game. As The Straight Edge Superstar isn’t signed with the Triple H-led promotion, he is not among the 250+ pro wrestlers featured in the game.
Even though the former AEW star is not on the list of in-built performers, you can still unlock him by following some easy steps. The 44-year-old can be unlocked in WWE 2K23 through the Create-A-Wrestler feature in this fan-favorite video game.
This special feature allows users to create impressively detailed characters, and that’s how you can create Punk. His character can be built with all the little details, like custom gear, tattoos, and even the taping on his fists. Everything is possible under this feature, and it makes the created characters exactly similar to the original ones. (Via: GAME RANT)
Despite this option, a lot of CM Punk fans from WWE have remain barren from this feature, as they don’t really understand how to use it. Thus, it remains to be seen whether fans will still have to unlock the fan-favorite star through this character creation option or if the veteran will actually be featured in the 2K24 game.
