CM Punk already topped LA Knight without even competing in a match since his WWE return

The much-anticipated return of WWE superstar CM Punk has sparked a huge wave of excitement and engagement on various social media platforms. WWE fans are showing their enthusiasm by generously opening up their wallets for Punk.

Despite being absent from the WWE Universe for almost a decade, the Second City Saint’s popularity remains strong. Within just two weeks of his return, he became the highest-selling WWE superstar for merchandise of the month, surpassing superstars like LA Knight and Jey Uso.

CM Punk dominating WWE merchandise sales

The wrestling world was abuzz with excitement when CM Punk made his comeback to WWE at Survivor Series WarGames 2023 and delivered a memorable promo on Monday Night Raw. It was previously reported that Punk is currently a free agent, which allows him to appear on both Raw and SmackDown.

While he is expected to make an appearance on the upcoming Raw episode, he is currently assigned to the Red brand of WWE. The return of Punk to WWE has had a significant impact on the viewership of the latest episode of Monday Night Raw.

The show drew an average of 1.884 million viewers with an average rating of 0.65 in the 18-49 demographic on the USA Network. This is an increase from the previous week’s viewership, which was 1.459 million, with a demo rating of 0.49. It is also the highest-rated key demo since the Raw after WrestleMania 39.

According to a recent post by Wrestle Features, Punk’s latest t-shirt has become increasingly popular on WWE Shop. It has ranked among the top three best-selling t-shirts for men, women, and youth.

Since his return to WWE, CM Punk’s presence has had a significant impact on merchandise sales. Before the return of Second City Saint, LA Knight dominated the merchandise sales numbers. Although Knight is still on the list, it’s clear that CM Punk has now taken over the top spot.

CM Punk teases feud with top WWE heel

According to his Instagram stories, CM Punk might be looking to engage in a feud with a prominent WWE heel. Punk made his comeback to WWE at Survivor Series right after the Men’s WarGames match, and he is currently the most discussed topic in the entire world of professional wrestling.

Two days ago, CM Punk shared a photo from his feud with Rey Mysterio on his Instagram story. The picture is from 13 years ago and shows him cutting a promo on an episode of SmackDown in 2010. The promo was delivered in front of the Mysterio family as part of the build-up to WrestleMania 26.

During the promo, Punk addressed Dominik Mysterio, and his Instagram story features a still image from that moment where he can be seen pointing his finger at Dominik. Earlier this year, a humorous incident occurred where Punk jokingly commented on Dominik. On the road to WrestleMania 39, Rey Mysterio got angry at his son, and Punk decided to send him a message. In the message, Punk said that he had been wanting to hit Dominik for 13 years.
