CM Punk’s appearances over the next few months have been confirmed, including a somewhat surprising stop next month.
On Thursday, WWE released a series of events over the next three months where Punk is scheduled to appear. Most dates were for live editions of Smackdown, or house shows that the company will present throughout Canada, America, and Mexico this summer.
But, among the more predictable announcements, it was also revealed that Punk will appear at WWE and AAA’s Worlds Collide event, which is scheduled to take place on September 26 in Chicago, Illinois.

Punk has yet to work a show for AAA, the lucha brand that was purchased by WWE in 2025. But when the company heads to his hometown next month, he’ll join in on the action, it was revealed this week.
Worlds Collide will notably be going head-to-head with AEW’s annual All Out pay-per-view, which will also be in the greater Chicago market on that same day.
It was announced earlier this week that Punk will make a similarly unexpected appearance at NXT’s house show this Saturday in Petersburg, Virginia.
