CM Punk’s injury ended his chances of competing at the Elimination Chamber, but he still intends to get his role in WWE 2K24. There was a huge splash when he returned to the circuit, even though he hadn’t been in WWE for 10 years. Fans wonder why the “Best in the World” isn’t featured prominently in the latest release.
WWE 2K24 is set to include some thrilling new elements, such as authentic referees and realistic character models. While acknowledging his absence from the game, CM Punk thinks it was a little harsh for him to be left out of the most recent DLC teaser.
CM Punk clears air on WWE 2K game absence
As fans eagerly await the release of WWE 2K24, they are puzzled by one notable absence: CM Punk. Fans are hoping for a virtual comeback from the charismatic Punk after he was left off the list of more than 200 fighters.
Punk missed the deadline to be included in WWE 2K24, which is scheduled for release in March 2024. Since Punk is currently out with a triceps injury, which he suffered at WWE Royal Rumble 2024, fans cast doubt on his future addition to the game. After watching the teaser of DLC release, Punk took to social media to share his feelings.
CM Punk said, “I know that 2K has released a full roster for the new WWE video game…I’m not in the game, now I understand being a little late to the party, returning to the WWE, and not being able to be put in the game. But they recently released the DLC teaser and there’s no sign of CM Punk.”
Punk expressed his displeasure at not being included in the new DLC teaser, although said that he understood missing out on the first roster because of his late return to WWE. Fans are still hoping that the “Best in the World” will soon make a virtual return to the WWE 2K series.
When was the last time CM Punk featured in WWE video game
The last time CM Punk featured in a WWE video game was prior to his departure from WWE in 2014. Despite leaving WWE abruptly in July 2014, Punk’s inclusion in the game raised eyebrows. Fans were concerned that his exit might hinder his consideration for the roster. Nevertheless, he made an appearance in one of the long-term story modes in the final WWE 2K15 game, offering players a last chance to use his avatar.
CM Punk has been quite open about his departure from WWE, including details regarding his pay from WWE 2K15. Fans are counting on his comeback in future game editions now that he’s in the promotion, but some of their aspirations have been disappointed due to deadline issues. Whatever the case may be, if discussions go as planned, his character might make an appearance in WWE 2K25.
