FREE POST: CM Punk Injury Update (Patreon)

WWE feared throughout the weekend that CM Punk had sustained a major injury.

Wrestling Observer reported that Punk had sustained a triceps injury, which PWInsider has reported that they've heard will require surgery. If true, this will likely sideline him well past WrestleMania. Fightful had heard that Punk suffered a triceps injury this weekend, and it has since been confirmed by WWE sources.

Fightful has learned that Punk is scheduled for tonight's WWE Raw, where he is likely to address the issue. He's been internally slated to face Seth Rollins at WWE WrestleMania, who also is battling a torn MCL and meniscus.

Fightful's Corey Brennan confirmed that towards the end of the WWE Royal Rumble match, that a WWE ref checked on CM Punk and asked if he needed a doctor. However, Punk waved it off as he wished to finish the match.

For those asking, we have not heard that the Cody Rhodes Royal Rumble win was an audible due to the injury.
