He has been a genuine numbers-mover since his return, proving his Hall of Fame credentials, drawing huge TV ratings and selling merchandise like few can.

In the ring, Punk has targeted World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, who made his displeasure with Punk’s comeback known at the aforementioned Survivor Series event, also having an encounter with Drew McIntyre on Raw.

While it’s unclear what exactly Punk will be doing in Perth, he could feature in the headline Elimination Chamber match, potentially aiming for a shot at Rollins’ championship at WrestleMania 40.

Rollins, Logan Paul, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, Grayson Waller, LA Knight and Cody Rhodes have all been confirmed for the show at Optus Stadium on February 24.

Tickets are still available with over 40,000 reported to have been sold so far.
