When will CM Punk return to WWE RAW next?

The situation around CM Punk‘s injured knee continues to clear up. It is believed that he has 4 different injuries to his knee at one time. Punk has a lot of pain in his lower leg but not the knee itself, despite the number of injuries. He has a strained ACL and other torn ligaments.

Doctors have recommended that he stay out of the ring for at least 6 weeks, putting a potential return off until around the end of June. It is also believed that TV ratings will play a part in his return. If ratings slide, he could be brought back sooner in a televised role without actually wrestling, while good ratings would mean his return could be pushed back further.

It had previously been rumoured that Punk could be out until as late as SummerSlam in August, which is still a possibility if Punk wants more time to recover from the mental fatigue and burnout.
