SUMMARY
- CM Punk is set to return to WWE during the March 25 episode of Monday Night RAW.
- As the show is going to be held in his hometown of Chicago, this appearance of CM Punk will be a special one.
When CM Punk made his return to WWE, everyone was certain that he’d surely play an important role at WrestleMania 40, and that was probably the actual plan. But his injury at Royal Rumble 2024 led the Triple H-led promotion to scrap all this, as Punk was taken out of action for months due to a serious injury to his arm.
Despite CM’s injury, The Straight Edge Superstar has still made appearances for his fans, and he’s set to appear to do it again on the March 25 episode of RAW. The veteran wrestler is announced to make a return to TV for the show in his hometown of Chicago. But just hours before it, Punk shared an Instagram story that has left fans shocked.

The 45-year-old legend wrote, “I see what @rhearipley_wwe been doing on house shows and I’m prepared to raise the bar. See you tomorrow Chicago!” It must be noted that Rhea used the stinkface at a recent live event, and it has made her a hot topic of discussion on the internet.
Taking inspiration from The Eradicator, Phillip Jack Brooks not only wrote that he’s going to raise the bar but also added a picture involving him and Cody Rhodes. In the photograph, both of them are standing pretty close, and that’s why a lot of fans have claimed that he seemingly hinted at kissing The American Nightmare. All this has now enhanced the anticipation around CM’s return.
Rhea Ripley’s use of stinkface has made her an internet sensation
As CM Punk mentioned Mami’s recent popularity, it’s evident that The Eradicator has been getting a lot of limelight due to the way she used Rikishi’s iconic move. In fact, Rhea Ripley’s use of stinkface has made her an internet sensation. Initially, it was a video in which she used the move on Nia Jax that went instantly viral, but later another clip came out.
In the second video, a 43-year-old WWE star can be seen begging Rhea to hit her with the stinkface, and it’s none other than Shayna Baszler. It must be noted that all this happened during Saturday’s house show in Springfield, as Nia, Shayna, and Ripley participated in a triple-threat match for the Women’s World Championship.
What to expect from CM Punk’s return to WWE RAW?
The Straight Edge Superstar’s story may have hinted at something hilarious, but fans are still wondering what to expect from CM Punk’s return to WWE RAW. If the picture with Rhodes is considered, it’s possible that he might be involved in a segment with The American Nightmare on the red brand’s upcoming episode.
Additionally, there’s a high possibility that CM’s appearance might be around his injury or return timeline to in-ring action. If that’s really the case, Chicago is surely the best place to make an announcement about his expected return, as the fans will without any doubt be supporting their hometown hero on Monday Night RAW.
WWE Raw at the Allstate Arena in Chicago has SOLD OUT more than 15,000 tickets. It will feature the return of the GOAT, CM Punk.
