CM Punk Injured, Out 4 to 6 Months?

CM Punk Injured, Out 4 to 6 Months? – CM Punk’s highly anticipated return to WWE took a sudden turn at this past Saturday’s Royal Rumble premium live event, where he competed in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match.

Punk, in just his third WWE match back and his first televised one, made an impressive run, ultimately reaching the final two competitors alongside Cody Rhodes, the two top favorites to win the match and headline WrestleMania 40 for a title of their choosing. While Rhodes secured the victory and is expected to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Title, Punk’s plans were abruptly halted due to an injury he sustained during the match.

Nature of the Injury

Dave Meltzer reported today that Punk suffered a significant injury during the Royal Rumble match. While the exact nature of the injury remains unconfirmed by WWE officials, speculation within the company suggests it could be a torn triceps. Meltzer noted a moment in the match where Punk informed the referee about his triceps, indicating the potential source of his injury. This is particularly concerning as Punk had previously undergone surgery for a similar injury suffered at All Out in Chicago in 2022.

Update on Punk’s Condition

Pwinsider has since confirmed that Punk did indeed tear his triceps and is likely heading towards surgery. The recovery process for such an injury typically requires 4-6 months of rest and physical therapy, effectively ruling Punk out of action past WrestleMania.

Punk is expected to be on tonight’s RAW.

The WWE Universe eagerly awaits further updates on CM Punk’s condition and wishes him a speedy recovery as he navigates this setback in his WWE comeback journey.
