CM Punk addressed the crowd after the February 19 episode of WWE Raw went off the air.
CM Punk has been sidelined with a torn triceps since the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble, and the injury will force him to miss WrestleMania 40. However, Punk has continued to make appearances for WWE.
After the February 19 episode of WWE Raw went off the air, Cody Rhodes brought out CM Punk, who had been backstage during the show. Punk hugged Jey Uso, who lost in the main event. He also hugged Rhodes before he addressed the crowd.
“It is not easy sitting backstage, watching the show, knowing that Anaheim showed up 11,000-strong, and y’all kept it hot all night long. Three hours, countless superstars, awesome matches. I had to come out here and feel this myself, and to let you all know, this is a bump in the road. I promise you that next time we are in Anaheim, I will be here, and I will have my boots on," Punk said.
