Backstage Update On CM Punk’s Recent Absence From WWE TV

As previously reported, top WWE star CM Punk has been removed from several scheduled live events he was advertised for, including the European tour. It’s rumored that his removal is due to “schedule changes.” Additionally, CM Punk has not appeared on WWE television since the episode of Monday Night RAW following WrestleMania 42.

In the latest edition of the Fightful Select Answers Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp addressed a fan question about Punk's absence. According to Sapp, Punk indicated that his absence is indeed due to “some schedule changes.” The reason for his extended absence since WrestleMania remains unclear, especially since he mentioned on RAW that he wasn’t planning to take an extended vacation.

Punk was last seen in public at the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano MMA fight, which streamed on Netflix last weekend.
