CM Punk will be in the building for both nights of the 2024 WWE Draft.

Though he's out injured, Punk played a key role in WrestleMania 40 when he cost Drew McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship. He again cost McIntyre in a number one contender's match on Monday's post-WrestleMania episode of Raw.

Punk has now been confirmed for a pair of WWE television appearances later this month. It was announced today that he'll be appearing on night one and night two of the WWE Draft.

The draft begins on the Friday, April 26 episode of SmackDown from Cincinnati and concludes on the Monday, April 29 episode of Raw from Kansas City.

Punk was on commentary for the Seth Rollins vs. McIntyre World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 40 night two. After McIntyre won the title, it was immediately taken from him. The story was that McIntyre allowed his obsession with mocking Punk to cost him his WrestleMania moment. Damian Priest cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase on McIntyre to become the new champion.

This is a crazy 90 second run.

A fatal four-way number one contender's match between Jey Uso, McIntyre, Ricochet, and Bronson Reed then headlined Raw this Monday. Uso got the victory after McIntyre was distracted by Punk.

Punk has been out of action since suffering a torn triceps in the Royal Rumble this January. During his appearance on The MMA Hour last week, Punk discussed his recovery from injury.

"I'm the one that's trying to push everything based on protocols for a ruptured triceps tendon but they're telling me to pump the brakes," he said. "I'm just sitting back listening to them as best I can."
