CM Punk May Face Kofi Kingston in WWE RAW Match?

CM Punk, a top attraction on WWE RAW since his return, is speculated to possibly compete in his first match since rejoining the brand. After a significant return at WWE Survivor Series 2023, Punk engaged in discussions with WWE RAW, SmackDown, and NXT, ultimately choosing to join WWE RAW. His in-ring career may resume tonight, following a verbal confrontation with Seth Rollins and his declaration to enter the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match.

While an official confirmation of his in-ring return tonight is pending, speculation suggests he might surprise fans by wrestling. Kofi Kingston, a longtime friend of Punk, is considered a likely opponent. The two, having shared the World Tag Team Champion title in 2008, were seen together on last week’s edition of WWE RAW. Their history makes Kingston a potential first opponent for Punk since his return.

Kofi Kingston, in a 2020 interview, reflected on his relationship with CM Punk. Despite Punk’s departure from WWE in 2014 and the subsequent distance in their relationship, Kingston expressed no resentment. He emphasized the importance of personal space and growth, maintaining his gratitude and brotherly regard for Punk. This sentiment underscores the enduring friendship between the two, transcending their professional paths.
