Last year, former WWE champion and AEW champion, The Voice of Voiceless, CM Punk, made his shocking back to WWE after almost decades and stunned fans at the last pay-per-view of 2023, WWE Survivor Series WarGames 2023.
CM Punk’s return to WWE can easily be ranked in the top ten returns of all time of this decade; after his comeback, CM Punk announced that after he is back at his home here in WWE, he’ll finally finish his story of main eventing the WrestleMania, a dream he was robbed of a dream he left behind year's back when he decided to walk out of the company.
The Voice of Voiceless, CM Punk, stated he wants to earn his shot at the WrestleMania main event and doesn't want to steal a spot from someone who deserves it. Punk announced he would enter the Royal Rumble 2024 pay-per-view and get his main event spot.
Unfortunately, CM Punk retired from his old injury, tore his already bad tricep, and had to get his tricep injury fixed via surgery. WWE worked pretty well on CM Punk getting injured, taking Drew McIntyre’s DDT, and crafted a storyline around Drew and Punk.

After the match was official, a report emerged about CM Punk making some changes to his WWE contract; now, another report has opened up on the real reason why CM Punk has made some changes to his WWE contract.

Now, there are rollovers in the deal, so there’s not a hurry for them to sign him because the deal goes longer. But they knew all along that right around now would be when they would be renegotiating any deal.”
The report further stated, “It was kind of known that that was going to happen now. Everyone is getting along fine. There’s nothing wrong with it or anything like that; He’s just hammering down the terms that everyone knew they were going to do at a certain point, which is now just to basically get everyone back on the page because they both know where they want to be.”
