“The King Is Back”: CM Punk Reveals His Goal for 2024 After a Decade Long Return to the WWE Roster

The year 2023 is done and dusted. As the new year dawns for WWE fans, we take a look at the aspirations of WWE Superstars courtesy of a short clip posted on X. WWE posted the clip on X on December 31st along with a caption, “Who will achieve their goals in 2024? 👀” and the WWE superstars reveal their dreams for the year 2024, including CM Punk.

CM Punk wants to be back at the top in 2024

The Second City Saint revealed his plans for the new year by stating, “Is to remind everybody that I’m the best in the world. The king is back baby!” Punk made his return to WWE at Survivor Series last year but did not wrestle any match on WWE TV programming in 2023. Hence, 2024 could be the year for him as he is set to start his feud with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.

It is to be noted that Rollins will not be Punk’s first opponent in WWE as that honor was bestowed upon Dominik Mysterio. Punk carried over his feud against Dirty Dom from 2010 to MSG in 2023 when he wrestled his first match for the company in almost a decade, in a non-televised live event.

The match was a part of WWE’s record-breaking Holiday Tour, mostly because of Punk’s appearance. After an iconic match at MSG, they repeated their rivalry at Inglewood, LA on December 30th, thus settling any doubts over Punk’s ring-rust.

But Punk has a long way to go to achieve his goals. We all know that he dreamed of main eventing WrestleMania, a foregone dream that led him to quit WWE a decade ago. While the Road to WrestleMania is on, Punk still has 3 months and one man standing in his way to achieve his goals.

The simplest way to achieve it is to go through 29 other men in the Royal Rumble, be the last man standing, and then challenge an opponent of his choice. So, will it be Roman Reigns or Seth Rollins? Or Punk will find some other way to achieve his dream? 

The video also features other WWE superstars like Dominik Mysterio, Becky Lynch, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, Bayley, Damian Priest, and Seth Rollins. The visionary said, “Somehow try to top 2023 and be the best father and husband I can” Well if Seth Rollins has to top 2023, he will have to successfully defend his title against Punk, if challenged.

Are you excited to see CM Punk wrestle in 2024?
