WWE RAW Preview March 25th 2024 Preview: The Return of CM Punk to Chicago

Tonight’s Monday Night Raw takes place live from Chicago, Illinois. The currently injured hometown hero, CM Punk will be appearing in front of the live, roaring crowd at the Allstate Arena. You can expect a massive ovation for CM Punk. CM Punk in Chicago is like Bret Hart in Canada, back in 1997.

You can expect more build towards the main event matches at Wrestlemania. We’re just under two weeks to go so you can expect Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins to have some interaction. You should also see Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins try to grow some chemistry before their tag team showdown with The Rock and Roman Reigns at the Show of Shows. We’ll also see some more development in the feud between Sami Zayn and Intercontinental Champion Gunther.

The following matches have been announced:

Jey Uso vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Sami Zayn vs. Bronson Reed
Ricochet vs. JD McDonagh
Ivy Nile vs. Candice LeRae
Andrade vs. Ivar

Does anything catch your eye? I think Jey Uso vs Shinsuke Nakamura could be a very good TV match. I’m looking forward to seeing Andrade wrestling as well. He’s felt like an after thought since returning to WWE, but I’m a big fan of his work. I hope he beats Ivar tonight and then starts gaining some momentum.

Are you looking forward to Raw? Will CM Punk be announced for a role at Wrestlemania? Give me your thoughts in the comment section.

On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent
