WWE Announces CM Punk for Major Events Ahead of WrestleMania 41

CM Punk’s television schedule leading to WrestleMania 41 has become clearer with the announcement of three European appearances in March. The news comes as Punk prepares for his first Elimination Chamber match since 2012 this Saturday, where he’ll compete for a shot at Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship.

WWE UK revealed the upcoming appearances on X, confirming Punk will be part of three televised shows during WWE’s European tour.

London, March 28: #SmackDown

These three television appearances add to Punk’s already busy European schedule. He was previously announced for non-televised live events in Belfast, Nottingham, Vienna, and Amsterdam, bringing his total European tour commitments to seven dates.

The packed schedule indicates WWE’s commitment to featuring Punk prominently as WrestleMania season intensifies. His WrestleMania opponent remains unknown pending the outcome of Saturday’s Elimination Chamber premium live event, where he’ll battle five other competitors for a championship opportunity.

This European tour represents Punk’s first international appearances for WWE since his return to the company in November 2023 at Survivor Series. The string of shows will serve as his final television appearances before WWE returns to the United States for the final build to WrestleMania 41.
