WATCH: CM Punk Confirms Torn Tricep, Gets In Fight On Monday Night Raw

There is it. You never know when you are going to see an injury put someone on the shelf for good and unfortunately there is little that can be done about them. Wrestlers can get hut out of nowhere and change a lot of plans in a hurry. The announcement confirming them can be devastating and now we have another one from one of the biggest names going today in WWE.

Earlier today, reports surfaced that CM Punk had suffered a “significant’ injury during the Royal Rumble. This week’s Monday Night Raw opened with an in-ring promo from Punk, who announced that he had suffered a torn tricep. As a result, Punk will be out of action for several months and will not wrestle at this year’s WrestleMania. Punk was then attacked by Drew McIntyre, who further damaged Punk’s arm.

It’s a big one. Check out the segment plus Punk in better times:

Opinion: This wasn’t exactly a surprise but that doesn’t make it much better. At the end of the day, Punk getting hurt again is rather devastating, both for Punk himself and WWE as a whole. Punk was pretty clearly going to be set for one of the big matches at Wrestlemania but now all of the plans are going to have to change. Hopefully WWE has someone else in mind, but my goodness this was hard to see.

What did you think of Punk’s WWE return? Who do you want to see him face when he gets back? Let us know in the comments below.
