CM Punk’s Impact on the Show During Roman Reigns’ Prolonged Absence

The WWE SmackDown ratings for the December 8 episode received a significant boost, with a total of 2,384,000 viewers tuning in. This was primarily due to the return of CM Punk after nearly a decade. The show did a .63 rating with the 18-49 demo, making it the best showing since the go-home episode for Fastlane 2023. It remains to be seen if the ratings will retain this momentum. The December 15, 2023, episode will witness the return of Roman Reigns, but Punk is not advertised for the show.

CM Punk is set to appear on WWE RAW tonight and is expected to announce his next plan of action. Also announced for RAW is Rhea Ripley versus Maxxine Dupri in a non-title match and Drew McIntyre versus Jey Uso in a singles match-up.
