Several fans commented on CM Punk’s latest announcements and talked about him becoming a part of RAW. Meanwhile, others talked about him becoming a participant in the Royal Rumble match. With that, one fan wrote, “CM Punk is my pick to win the Royal Rumble!”
Thus, it seems fans are thrilled to know that they will now get to see their favorite superstar performing on RAW, going ahead. Also, they are super excited to see Punk win the 2024 Royal Rumble. However, only time will tell if it will indeed become a possibility.
CM Punk previously walked out of WWE after Royal Rumble 2014
CM Punk has recently announced that he will be a participant in the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match. However, back in the past, following Royal Rumble 2014, The Best in the World had walked out of the Stamford-based promotion.
Previously, before Royal Rumble 2014, Punk was engaged in a feud with Kane. This resulted in the latter making Punk the first entrant in the 2014 Royal Rumble match. At the event, The Best in the World was eliminated by Kane, and not only that, but the latter also nailed a Chokeslam on CM Punk.
Following that, Punk walked out of WWE and, in addition to that, took an early retirement from pro wrestling. However, he surprised the entire WWE Universe by once again becoming a part of the promotion in 2023.
Thus, it seems Punk previously walked out of WWE after the Royal Rumble 2014. With that, he will now once again be an entrant in the same match after ten years. It now remains to be seen if history will repeat itself and the fan-favorite superstar will once again walk out of the Stamford-based promotion.
On the other hand, it is to be seen if CM Punk indeed becomes the winner of Royal Rumble 2024 and then chooses to go after Seth Rollins. Whatever the case, the fans of The Best in the World will eagerly look forward to the performance of their favorite superstar at the 2024 Royal Rumble PPV event.
