WWE Advised To Hold Off CM Punk's In-Ring Return On Television Until Royal Rumble

Stamford, December 17 - Since his highly anticipated return to WWE at Survivor Series last month, CM Punk has proven to be a massive draw, making waves on Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown, and NXT Deadline. ## Despite Punk's prominent presence, recent advice suggests that WWE should strategically delay his in-ring return on television until the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event next year. ## Jim Cornette, while speaking on Jim Cornette's Drive Thru, expressed caution against squandering CM Punk's in-ring comeback on free television. He emphasized the need to preserve the allure and magnitude of Punk's return, suggesting that a significant main event quality match should be reserved for the Royal Rumble rather than being showcased on regular programming. ## "I would not give a legitimate main event top restaurant quality CM Punk match on free television before the Rumble." ## The Second City Saint himself has added to the anticipation by confirming his participation in the Royal Rumble match next year. Punk's involvement in WWE's Live Holiday Tour includes a match against Dominik Mysterio at Madison Square Garden on December 26th, followed by another showdown at Los Angeles' KIA Forum on December 30th. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
