CM Punk Returns
When CM Punk returned to WWE, there was a plan for him to have a match at WrestleMania 40. That can’t happen, thanks to injuries sustained at the hands of Drew McIntyre.
But CM Punk is returning to WWE Raw in Chicago. Perhaps, CM Punk’s Raw appearance is to announce that he’ll be at WrestleMania 40.
There are many roles CM Punk could fill at WrestleMania 40. Guest commentator, guest host, guest referee, guest timekeeper, guest vocalist to sing America the Beautiful, guest musician for Roman Reigns entrance. He’d have to dust off his fifth-grade saxophone for the latter.
A video of him working out online without his elbow brace has got people speculating whether he could be fit enough to return to the ring at WrestleMania 40. Watch this space.

WWE Raw Match Card
FiveThree matches have been announced for WWE Raw. Andrade will take on Ivar. The Judgement Day has promised to keep an eye on the match as it considers whether or not to let Andrade join the gang.
Talking of The Judgement Day, JD McDonagh will take on Ricochet. Ricochet eliminated McDonagh from the gauntlet match to find Gunther’s WrestleMania 40 challenger. The rest of The Judgement Day saw this as an embarrassment and have set McDonagh to task to save some face, this week.
Candice LeRae has been a right meany recently, particularly to Maxxine Dupri. Ivy Nile has had enough of the “Poison Pixie” and has challenged her to a match to try and beat some kindness into her.
Sami Zayn and Jey Uso will also warm up for their WrestleMania 40 matches when they face “Big” Bronson Reed and Shinsuke Nakamura, respectively.
When we say warm up, we mean give their WrestleMania opponents a golden opportunity for a nice cheap shot!
Anything Else
Nothing above screams the main event, so expect to see one of WWE Raw’s top stars thrown into a match during the show.
