Best in the World, CM Punk made his stupendous WWE return roughly two weeks ago. The superstar has taken the WWE Universe by storm ever since. There has been a great deal of buzz around each of his WWE appearances thus far. 

With that said, a report suggests that the recently returned superstar has helped the Raw brand sell far more tickets than usual.

On the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw, general manager Adam Pearce noted his intention to make CM Punk an official member of the Red Brand. As a result, the 45-year-old has been invited to appear on the upcoming Raw program. As per the stats from WrestleTix, the superstar has helped Raw sell an additional 1,500 tickets since the announcement.

The Straight Edge Superstar seamlessly moved a substantial number of tickets in a mere span of six days since he WWE advertised him for the show. In addition to this, the 45-year-old also became the top merchandise mover on the WWE Shop within a few days of returning. With each instance, CM Punk continues to reinstate his megastardom in WWE.

Furthermore, his imminent appearance on the red brand will determine CM Punk’s fate in WWE. Fans will have to tune in this week to find out which brand Punk lands on. The widespread consensus among fans, however, is that the superstar would most likely join the Raw roster in order to set up a future feud with Seth Rollins.

CM Punk speaks about mending fences with Triple H by drawing parallels to Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart’s real-life beef

CM Punk was spotted at WWE Headquarters in Bridgeport, Connecticut, less than 24 hours ago. It is the same venue where NXT Deadline was scheduled to take place.

The superstar eventually made his anticipated yet surprising appearance at the NXT Premium Live Event. In his brief segment, Punk opened up about making amends with Triple H by comparing their past equation to that of Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart.

The 45-year-old crashed the white-and-gold brand and had a wholesome segment with the WWE Hall of Famer. During the segment, HBK sarcastically complimented Punk’s pink-colored Bret Hart hoodie.

Michaels and Hart once had real-life beef during the 90s. However, the two legends buried the hatchet with time. Similarly, the Cold War between Punk and Hunter was a matter of public knowledge.

The Straight Edge Superstar responded by stating that he forgot to wear an HBK shirt. Furthermore, he added that he and Triple H have indeed reconciled with each other.

Over a decade ago, the former even aired his grievances about the WWE CCO in his infamous pipebomb promo. The 54-year-old even vouched for the former WWE Champion in the Survivor Series press conference.
