During today’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, an update was provided on CM Punk as he continues to deal with a torn triceps injury. There have been some rumors that Punk vs. Drew McIntyre will be taking place at WWE SummerSlam 2024.
Dave Meltzer is reporting that it is “probable” that Punk will be ready to return for SummerSlam. With that being said, it is not “100%” confirmed that he will be cleared to return at the event, which is now less than three weeks away. As of last week, Punk had still not been cleared for in-ring action.
WWE SummerSlam 2024 will be held on Saturday, August 3 at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
During a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash praised WWE’s booking of CM Punk’s ongoing feud with Drew McIntyre. He said,
“He hasn’t been shoved down our throat, like he just kind of exists, like he continually gets to Drew. To the point now where Drew like storyline-wise is saddled … they’ve done such a good job creatively with us accepting that he’s out and that he’s hurt that we’re like yeah of course you’re not going to attack him because he’s not cleared … you’ve got Punk who has caused all kinds of f*****g s**t, he’s got a ton of heat, still super over and he hasn’t touched anybody.”
