CM Punk is set to make a monumental return to WWE SmackDown after a decade-long absence, and the wrestling world is abuzz with anticipation for what he has in store.

According to the latest report from WrestleVotes, CM Punk is scheduled to have an in-ring segment where he will discuss his aspirations to “main event” WrestleMania 40. While specific details are currently scarce, the wrestling community has been abuzz with speculation, fueled by social media activity in recent weeks, suggesting a clear direction for Punk’s WWE journey.

“I’m told CM Punk’s in ring segment tonight on SmackDown will focus on his desire to “main event” WrestleMania 40. It’s clobbering time….”

In a recent interview on Jimmy Traina’s SI Media podcast, Seth Rollins shared his longstanding issues with Punk, particularly concerning how Punk has treated him and his colleagues. Rollins also expressed his belief that Punk’s return to WWE after years of criticizing the company represents a certain level of hypocrisy. This interview has only added to the intrigue surrounding Punk’s comeback.
