CM Punk’s WWE Return Status Gets Major Update Amid TV Absence

TLDR

CM Punk's absence from WWE television is reportedly due to a "schedule change" as he awaits new creative direction from the company. According to sources cited by False Finish, Punk's schedule and creative plans were shifted after WWE moved Gunther to SmackDown and brought Jacob Fatu to RAW for a feud with Roman Reigns. Punk last appeared on WWE television after the April 20 episode of RAW and is still expected to return in time for SummerSlam season.
