CM Punk expected to join WWE SmackDown upon return

CM Punk is anticipated to return to WWE television in July, reportedly joining WWE SmackDown. His recent absence from the screen led to speculation about his status with the company and possible rifts. However, reports clarify any rumors of discord are unfounded, and Punk's return is now aligned with SmackDown to balance the roster. He had previously hinted at storylines involving Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion. Punk may still make an appearance on WWE Raw before his SmackDown debut, particularly as the July 6 episode takes place in his hometown of Chicago.
