CM Punk return, new match added to WWE Raw

The World Heavyweight Champion will return to WWE Raw for the first time since Survivor Series on Monday’s episode.

WWE announced during Friday’s SmackDown that World Heavyweight title holder CM Punk will return on the Monday, December 15 Raw show. It will be Punk’s first appearance since taking part in the WarGames match at Survivor Series on November 29.

In storyline, Punk has been out selling injuries suffered in the WarGames match when a masked attacker hit him with a curb stomp.

A singles match has also been added to Monday’s Raw, with Logan Paul vs. Rey Mysterio announced for the December 15 episode.

Those two new additions join a Women’s Intercontinental Championship tilt between Maxxine Dupri and Ivy Nile, plus a tag team bout featuring The New Day vs. The Usos as part of Monday’s card.
