C.M. Punk’s Recent WWE Journey
In a significant comeback, C.M. Punk returned to WWE in 2023. He achieved a monumental victory over Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam in August. Unfortunately, his reign was cut short when Seth Rollins, after returning from a fabricated injury, cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and seized the title.
Rollins faced a legitimate injury to his rotator cuff during a match with Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel in October. Following this, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce stripped Rollins of the championship in the episode after the pay-per-view. Punk then captured the title again by defeating Jey Uso at Saturday Night’s Main Event in November and has held onto it since.
Conclusion
The upcoming WWE 2K26 Attitude Era Edition promises to deliver an exciting experience for players. With C.M. Punk in the showcase mode and numerous iconic features, fans of wrestling games have a lot to look forward to.
