    Update on CM Punk’s WWE contract expiring

    AdminBy No Comments2 Mins Read0 Views


    CM Punk has been absent from WWE programming since the RAW after WrestleMania 42. The Second City Saint’s absence has raised many questions, including the status of his contract with the Stamford-based promotion.

    Several different rumors have been making the rounds on social media regarding Punk’s future. Some even suggested that he was leaving WWE, but those claims were debunked. It was believed that the veteran’s contract with the global juggernaut would expire in November this year.

    However, Fightful Select has put those rumors to rest as well. Punk’s contract is reportedly not expiring this year. The Second City Saint is expected to play a major role at SummerSlam, which means he could return to television soon.

    The former World Heavyweight Champion is reportedly set to join SmackDown upon his return, which is interesting, given his last interaction with Cody Rhodes before his hiatus.

    AJ Lee praises CM Punk

    AJ Lee returned to WWE after a decade in September last year. She was last seen at WrestleMania 42, where she lost the Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Becky Lynch.

    Speaking with Maurice Bernard on the State of the Mind podcast, the former Divas Champion praised CM Punk’s physical condition and his WrestleMania 42 main event against Roman Reigns, stating that he was in the best shape of his life.

    “He’s in like the best shape of his life right now and was just champion for like most of the year. And had, I mean, I am his wife, so I am a little like biased, but like objectively one of the greatest WrestleMania matches of all time this year, a few months ago. I’m just so impressed with how he is able to push himself and just be the best athlete he can be. He reaches for the moon every time,” said Lee.

    CM Punk and AJ Lee formed an alliance on television upon the latter’s return last year. The real-life couple went on to face and defeat Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch in a Mixed Tag Team Match at Wrestlepalooza.

    It will be interesting to see when Punk and AJ return to WWE television.
