CM Punk suffered a triceps injury during the Royal Rumble, which now puts his participation in WrestleMania 40 in doubt. Unfortunately, he will not be able to compete in either the Elimination Chamber or the main event at WrestleMania. Plans for Punk at the Chamber event were recently canceled due to his injury.
During last week’s Monday Night Raw, CM Punk confirmed his injury, indicating that he won’t be able to headline WrestleMania 40. It was noted that he will be out of action for 4-6 months after surgery.
CM Punk’s video package on WWE RAW includes a bold claim
CM Punk recently underwent surgery for a torn right triceps that he sustained during the Royal Rumble match. However, in a video clip aired on Raw, CM Punk expressed hope about his return to the ring. He confidently declared, “My comeback will be the greatest of all time.”
In the video, we witness Punk heading to the medical facility for surgery. After the operation, he encounters difficulties performing simple tasks. While attempting to open a bag zipper, he expresses his frustration.
“This is the most frustrating thing, simple tasks like these. I am in a lot of pain. It’s mental more than anything. I can handle a lot of pain. I can power through hard PT. The mental aspect of it, I think, is a lot harder than the physical,” said CM Punk.
During the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble Match, CM Punk sustained a triceps injury for which Drew McIntyre took responsibility. Unfortunately, this means that Punk cannot participate in WrestleMania 40, where he was slated to compete against Seth Rollins. Despite this setback, the WWE may have other plans for Punk. According to his close associate, Ace Steel, WWE wants Punk to join the commentator’s table.
