CM Punk returned to WWE at last year's Survivor Series Premium Live Event. While he did wrestle Dominik Mysterio at house shows, it wasn't until the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event that he competed in his first televised match since returning to the company.
Meanwhile, Big E suffered a career-threatening injury back in 2022 when The New Day faced the Brawling Brutes in a tag team match on SmackDown. The former WWE Champion is still on his road to recovery.
