The Second City Saint was viciously attacked during the men’s WarGames match.
‘The Second City Saint’ CM Punk teamed up with Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Usos (Jey & Jimmy Uso) to take on the Vision team during the men’s WarGames match. However, in the final moments, a masked man jumped into the cage and attacked Punk.
This attack helped Bron Breakker deliver a thunderous spear to pin the World Heavyweight Champion and pick up the win for his team. Since the loss, Punk is absent from WWE programming and didn’t appear during the fallout show of Raw last week.
On the other hand, after pinning Punk, Breakker made an appearance alongside Paul Heyman and The Vision. Heyman, during the segment, announced that Breakker will take on Punk for the World title on the January 5 episode of Raw next month. Breakker also cut a scathing promo, sending a stern warning to the wounded Champion.
Will CM Punk appear on WWE Raw tonight?

Tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw will emanate live from the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The episode will serve as the go-home show for the December 13 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Cena will compete in his retirement match.
Among the announced matches and segments, CM Punk’s name is nowhere to be found. Although he is in the list of featured superstars for the show on WWE.com, it is unlikely that Punk makes an appearance tonight.
Punk could be taking a rest from WWE programming ahead of his title defense next month. On the other hand, WWE’s focus right now is on the upcoming SNME, where John Cena’s final match will take place.
Punk is also dealing with the loss of his beloved dog, Larry. Punk and AJ Lee shared a truly special bond with their rescue dog, who became a legend for fans who adored his presence both on social media and in their wrestling journey.
The Second City Saint could be enjoying his well-deserved time off Television and will likely be absent from tonight’s programming. However, he could just decide to channel all that towards Breakker and make an appearance to respond to Bron, but that seems unlikely. Anywho, WWE is ready to deliver another great show tonight, and fans should expect a few surprises on the go-home show.
