CM Punk, the renowned wrestler, has yet to be officially confirmed as a playable character in WWE 2K24. However, following his recent return to the ring, he has expressed interest in being added to the game as downloadable content in the future. After nearly a decade since his last virtual appearance in a WWE video game and amidst the buzz created by his unexpected appearance at Survivor Series, fans are left wondering about Punk's potential inclusion in the upcoming WWE 2K24.

The announcement of WWE 2K24 came in January, coinciding with CM Punk's televised WWE match at the Royal Rumble event, his first since 2014. While the game's roster has been progressively unveiled, including various current and past wrestling stars, the absence of CM Punk has raised questions. Given the proximity of his comeback to the planned release date of WWE 2K24 on March 8, many speculate about his chances of being part of the initial roster.

Addressing his absence from WWE 2K24, CM Punk took to Instagram Stories to acknowledge the challenges posed by his recent return and the already disclosed base roster of the game. Fans were left puzzled as Punk was not hinted at in the initial DLC packs either. Expressing his determination to clarify his status in WWE 2K24, Punk shared his video message, prompting widespread discussion among fans on social media.

Fans Rally for CM Punk's Inclusion

Despite CM Punk's last appearance in a video game being in AEW Fight Forever prior to his return to WWE, enthusiasts have recreated his character in recent releases like WWE 2K23 using the game's character creation tools. Given his enduring popularity and the excitement surrounding his WWE comeback, it seems almost inevitable that CM Punk will eventually be added to WWE 2K24 as a DLC character, although official confirmation is still pending. The interest sparked by Punk's inquiry into the game hints at a strong demand from players to see him return to a WWE video game soon.
