The WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk has been out of action since the brutal men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series. The Best in the World marched into the match with a star studded team, but ended up with a loss after a masked man made an appearance and delivered him a stomp, allowing Bron Breakker to pin the World Champion.Following the massive victory for the Vision, WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman announced that Breakker would challenge Punk for the World title on the first episode of RAW in 2026, and fans around the world have been quite excited for the battle. Breaker has been delivering some incredible promos, taking shots at Punk, over the past few weeks, elevating the excitement for his match.However, Paul Heyman could change the landscape of the upcoming match altogether. The legend could point out that Punk had defied the 30-day title defense rule, forcing Adam Pearce and Triple H to take the World title off the Best in the World.This could lead to the match between Punk and Breakker turning into a match for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship, and could end up being one of the most disheartening twists for CM Punk fans.Real reason for CM Punk’s absence from WWE RAW revealedThe Best in the World’s absence from RAW has left fans confused and worried if a real injury scare has been preventing him from making a comeback. However, the real reason behind his absence is not an injury.Rather, as per reports from PWInsider, the star has been busy filming an upcoming Netflix movie, The Bodyguard, which is why he has not been able to make any appearances on RAW since Survivor Series. Time will tell what Punk makes his comeback to TV once again.
