CM Punk’s Return Timeline Revealed Amid WWE TV Absence

TLDR

According to a WrestleVotes report, WWE internally expects CM Punk to return during SummerSlam season, with a potential comeback date of July 18 at Saturday Night's Main Event in Madison Square Garden. Punk has been absent from WWE television since April 20 and was removed from promotional material for the European Summer Tour and several June RAW episodes, though WWE sources told Dave Meltzer this is simply due to a schedule change rather than any backstage issues.
