Update on CM Punk’s in-ring return amidst extended absence
CM Punk was written off WWE programming after he suffered a backstage attack from Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior made an unexpected appearance on SmackDown in Chicago, assaulting the Straight Edge star.
The attack led to speculation that Punk and McIntyre would finally settle their score at WWE’s next major premium live event, SummerSlam, in August. However, Punk’s return status remains in limbo.
