Punk made his WWE return at the Survivor Series Premium Live Event. He closed out the show after the Men's WarGames Match, which featured The Judgment Day in action against Cody Rhodes' team.

The Second City Saint has also confirmed his entry into next year's Men's Royal Rumble Match. A victory for Punk could set him on the path to challenge for Seth Rollins' WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

On a recent edition of RAW, Punk officially signed with the red brand before being confronted by Rollins. The Visionary was visibly frustrated upon Punk's return to WWE. The two men could cross paths in a match in early 2024.
