Is CM Punk injured? Real reason behind World Heavyweight Champion's absence on WWE RAW

CM Punk didn’t appear on the recent episode of the red brand!

CM Punk’s absence from Monday Night RAW has raised concern among fans, and WWE has now confirmed that the World Heavyweight Champion is not medically cleared. The announcement came just one night after Survivor Series: WarGames, where Punk endured one of the most punishing matches of his latest WWE run.

CM Punk was originally expected to appear on WWE RAW to address the aftermath of WarGames, but the company made it clear that he is currently sidelined. The nature and extent of his injuries remain undisclosed, but the update confirms that his condition is serious enough to pull him from in-ring competition.

CM Punk officially not cleared after brutal men’s WWE Survivor Series WarGames match

At Survivor Series: WarGames, CM Punk teamed with Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Usos against The Vision. The team looked poised for victory until a hooded attacker entered the cage and hit Punk with a devastating stomp. While early speculation pointed to Seth Rollins, sources have clarified that Rollins is still injured, and the mystery star is not him. Reports suggest it could be Austin Theory, but WWE has yet to confirm the identity.

Punk, who started the match for his team, took heavy punishment throughout the bout. From the opening exchanges with Bron Breakker to the chaotic final moments, the champion absorbed more offense than anyone else in the match. Ultimately, Breakker pinned Punk, marking a rare loss for the champion and hinting at a potential feud between the two.

WWE’s announcement on RAW confirmed that Punk suffered injuries during the match and is out of action until further medical evaluation. The company offered no timetable for his return, leaving fans to wonder how long the champion will be sidelined.

What’s next for CM Punk and the World Heavyweight Championship?

With Punk temporarily out, WWE has confirmed Bron Breakker as his future challenger, facing him for his World Heavweight championship on 5/1 edition of WWE Raw. It would be interesting to see when Punk returns.

Punk’s resilience has never been in doubt, but the physical toll of WarGames was clear. After being beaten down by every member of The Vision and taking multiple high-impact moves, his current condition isn’t surprising. WWE is expected to provide further updates in the coming weeks as the champion recovers.

For now, fans will have to wait and see when the World Heavyweight Champion can return to RAW and resume his storyline.
