WWE fans in Chicago will get to see their hometown hero later this month. 

The promotion revealed on Monday that CM Punk will be on the show when Raw runs from the Allstate Arena on March 25, 2024. 

New seating sections will be opened up to accommodate more fans in attendance. The show’s current setup has been sold out for weeks with 11,859 tickets having been distributed. 

From WWE.com:

This will mark CM Punk’s first return to Chicago’s Allstate Arena since he shocked the world back in November with a stunning return to WWE at Survivor Series, garnering more than 71 million record-breaking views across social media platforms.

His last appearance on Monday Night Raw on February 5, 2024, saw him reveal an injury sustained at Royal Rumble that would force him to miss WrestleMania XL. Questions remain around what the self-proclaimed “Best In the World” will have to say when he addresses the WWE Universe in-person on Monday, March 25.

Punk tore his right triceps in the 2024 men’s Royal Rumble match and is estimated to be out of action until the summer. He told media backstage at UFC 298 that he is looking at six to eight months of recovery time.
