CM Punk made his highly anticipated WWE in-ring return at Madison Square Garden on December 26, 2023, and his first opponent was Dominik Mysterio.

CM Punk returned to WWE at Survivor Series 2023 premium live event after the Men's WarGames Match, which was a major surprise. CM Punk parted ways with WWE in 2014, with his last match taking place at that year's Royal Rumble.

CM Punk officially signed with the Raw brand on the December 11, 2023, episode of WWE Raw, and he's also slated to compete in the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble Match.

Before entering the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble Match, CM Punk competed in his first WWE match in nearly a decade at a live event in Madison Square Garden. The crowd was hot for CM Punk throughout the whole contest. CM Punk emerged victorious via pinfall after hitting Dominik Mysterio with the Go to Sleep.
