Despite being sidelined with a torn triceps injury, CM Punk still made an appearance on this week’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown. The injury, which he revealed on the following edition of RAW, meant that he would miss this year’s WrestleMania, thereby halting his dream of main-eventing the show. However, his sudden visit to SmackDown suggests that even an injured CM Punk can’t resist the urge to stay connected with the world of professional wrestling.
Kairi Sane, one half of the WWE Women’s tag team champion, took to her Instagram to share pictures of her backstage encounter with CM Punk. Accompanying her precious title and posing alongside “The Best in the World” is a testament to the respect and admiration that many wrestlers have for the veteran performer. One of the pictures shows Sane holding her title, while the other features her standing alongside Punk, further highlighting the special bond that exists between the two.

Punk’s appearance on SmackDown sparked speculations about his future plans, considering he is still recovering from his injury. Given his determination to achieve his life-long goal of main-eventing WrestleMania, it would be intriguing to see when he returns to WWE television programming and resumes his quest for the top of the mountain. With Punk’s talent and charisma, he remains a force to be reckoned with, and fans eagerly await his return.
The question on everyone’s mind is when CM Punk will return to WWE. His injury has undoubtedly put his plans on hold, but his unwavering passion for wrestling suggests that he will be back in action soon. WWE fans can only hope that his hiatus will be short-lived, as his presence is undoubtedly felt whenever he steps into the squared circle.
