“Put the Pressure On”: CM Punk Launches Investigation Over His Absence From the WWE 2K24 Roster

CM Punk’s recent injury which means he misses out on his WrestleMania moment has put a damper on fans’ feelings. But Punk seems hell-bent on not missing out on the latest WWE 2k24 game. The former AEW star feels he understands his absence from the game. However, he feels his neglect in the recently released DLC teaser is a bit too much.

CM Punk reassures fans with a possible 2k24 update

CM Punk has not marked his entry in the WWE 2K franchise since his presence in the 2015 edition. He did not make it in time for his inclusion in the initial phase of the game since he only returned at the Survivor Series PLE. However, he did not let that excuse slide. The Best in the World stated, “I know that 2K has released a full roster for the new WWE video game…I’m not in the game, now I understand being a little late to the party, returning to the WWE and not being able to be put in the game. But they recently released the DLC teaser and there’s no sign of CM Punk.” 

Since the release of the DLC teaser fans are wondering why there is no hint of Punk. The Voice of the Voiceless understood the grievance and now will be investigating the matter.

“So, I decided to make it my thing today to try to get to the bottom of this. Because the fans are asking, demanding that I be put in this video game. Now I’m not a technology guy, barely a video game guy, so I don’t know how fast they can do this. But like I said, we’re gonna try to get to the bottom of it, and I’m gonna tag them here just to put some pressure on. Let’s put some feet to fires today, ladies and gentlemen,” said the former AEW star.

This all could be a marketing gimmick from 2k to keep the fans excited. There is a high chance that excluding a very popular character from the game will bring discontent among the fans. Especially when that particular superstar proves to be one of the most popular figures in the history of pro wrestling. Moreover, his recent injury struggles mean that fans will want to fulfill their dream matchups and desires in a virtual setting after being unable to witness his greatness in real life.

Nevertheless, what do you make of Punk’s proclamation about the inclusion of his character in the popular video game franchise? Let us know in the comments section below.
