CM Punk Not Expected To Work WWE Crown Jewel

CM Punk won't be on WWE TV for at least the remainder of October and into early November.

Fightful Select has reported that the last time they checked, CM Punk was not expected to work WWE Crown Jewel. WWE's next PPV/PLE is scheduled to emanate from Saudi Arabia on Saturday, November 2.

Punk announced on this week's edition of Monday Night Raw that he would be taking time off and he wasn't sure when he would be back. His next feud appeared to be set up, though, as Seth Rollins shoulder-checked Punk and told his fellow former WWE Champion that he hoped Punk came back soon so he could retire him.

Punk has been back with WWE since November 2023. His programme with Drew McIntyre came to an end at Bad Blood on October 5 in a brutal Hell in a Cell Match. Punk won their series 2-1, winning the Bad Blood rubber match following a steel chain-assisted GTS.

CM Punk has been outspoken about Saudi Arabia in the past, previously telling The Miz in January 2020 to "go suck a blood money covered d**k in Saudi Arabia you f*****g dork" after Miz took a slight dig at him on an episode of WWE Backstage. The two men have since buried the hatchet.
