WWE makes a blockbuster announcement on CM Punk ahead of RAW

WWE is gearing up for the final RAW episode of 2024, which will air in just a few hours. It will also be the last show before next week's Netflix premiere. CM Punk was previously confirmed for tonight's edition of the red brand, but now company officials have provided a big update on what's planned.

The Voice of The Voiceless recently conquered Drew McIntyre inside Hell in a Cell, then jumped to SmackDown to help the OG Bloodline win WarGames. Punk has turned his attention back to Seth Rollins for a match that is being touted as years in the making. The two veteran superstars will clash on January 6 for the second time after the former AEW World Champion defeated The Visionary on December 30, 2013, in an 18-minute RAW opener.

World Wrestling Entertainment previously announced that Punk and Rollins would be under the same roof at Toyota Center in Houston for tonight's RAW. An updated announcement confirms that The Second City Saint and The Visionary will meet face-to-face one last time before next week's big singles match.

"TONIGHT on #WWERaw: CM Punk and Seth Rollins come face-to-face for the final time before their match at the #WWERAW on @netflix Premiere on January 6th! [TV emoji] 8/7c on @USANetwork," wrote WWE with the graphic below.

The final RAW of 2024 will also be the last two-hour episode as the show returns to a three-hour format next week. Officials have also announced the following for tonight: Otis vs. Chad Gable, R-Truth vs. Pete Dunne, plus The War Raiders and Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Dominik Mysterio.
