Is CM Punk finally returning on WWE television tonight on Raw?

There are big rumors, although unconfirmed, that CM Punk will be making his return to WWE television tonight on Raw live from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.

It’s an arena that Punk knows too well, an arena he has headlined many times throughout his career and the same place where he made his sensational return to WWE after a decade at the Survivor Series a few years ago.

The former WWE World Heavyweight champion has not been seen on WWE television since the Raw after WrestleMania, where he said he would not be going on hiatus following his title loss. But that’s exactly what he did, perhaps due to some reported issues creatively with the company which have been rumored for a while.

Punk is said to be taking on Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam and Rhodes will have a chance to claim back the WWE Championship tonight in a one-on-one mach against new champion Sami Zayn. Perhaps, tonight will be the perfect night to kick start this feud

Upon his return, he will be moving to the Smackdown roster, leaving the Raw brand for a little bit in a bid to balance the heavyweights on the two rosters.

Ticket sales for tonight’s Raw picked up quite a bit since the rumors of his return came out, with the show now closing in on 12,000 tickets distributed. The cheapest standard ticket is $110.20 and tickets are available on Ticketmaster.com.
