CM Punk is set to miss WrestleMania XL due to a tricep injury, but there are indications that the former WWE Champion will attend the press conference for the event.
Punk made a highly anticipated return to WWE at the 2023 Survivor Series Premium Live Event after an almost decade-long hiatus. His first televised match since his return took place at the 2024 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, participating in the men’s Rumble bout.
Despite the injury setback, Punk hinted at his potential presence at the WrestleMania XL Kickoff press event in Las Vegas through his Instagram Story.
Wrestling veteran Konnan shared insights into Punk’s injury-prone status, attributing it to the physical style of wrestling he has maintained for over 27 years, including his time in ROH and AEW. Konnan drew parallels with other wrestlers like Bryan Danielson and Eddie Guerrero who faced similar challenges due to their intense in-ring styles.
Addressing the WWE Universe after his injury at the Royal Rumble, CM Punk officially confirmed his absence from WrestleMania this year. Initially expected to face Seth Rollins at the grand event following a brief confrontation on Monday Night RAW, Punk’s plans were disrupted by the injury.
The RAW episode post-Royal Rumble saw Drew McIntyre confronting CM Punk. The attack by McIntyre on Punk’s injured arm hinted at the possibility of a brewing feud between the two, adding an element of anticipation for fans despite Punk’s unfortunate injury.
While Punk may miss the in-ring action at WrestleMania, his potential appearance at the press conference ensures continued engagement and speculation among wrestling enthusiasts.
