A recent report from PWInsiderElite.com has addressed the widespread concerns about CM Punk’s health after a segment from Monday Night Raw on September 8 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, sparked injury speculation. The viral clip showed Punk leaving the ring during a commercial break, seemingly catching his back on the ring apron before falling to the floor, prompting fans to worry about his condition.
Background on the Viral Fall and Fan Reaction
The footage circulated rapidly across social media platforms, fueling rumors about a potential injury. This reaction was intensified by CM Punk’s documented history of injuries since his 2021 return to wrestling. A tweet from Sixty Minute Dan highlighted that this was not the first time Punk experienced such a fall, referencing an earlier similar incident after a promo with Gunther in August.
Btw, the CM Punk spot where he exits the ring over the top, one hand on the apron, and to the floor isn’t the first time he’s hit his back. It just happened in early August after a promo w/ Gunther. @bryanalvarez pic.twitter.com/B9aNG9ehVo
