CM Punk’s schedule just got real—and UK fans are about to see a whole lot more of the Second City Saint.

Fresh off the chaos at SummerSlam, where Punk won the World Heavyweight Championship only to lose it minutes later after a Money in the Bank cash-in from Seth Rollins, WWE has now confirmed Punk will be appearing at every UK live event ahead of Clash In Paris on August 31.

WWE UK dropped the announcement on social media, confirming that Punk is booked for the entire Road to Clash In Paris tour. That includes five straight dates:

  • August 23 – Liverpool
  • August 24 – Newcastle
  • August 26 – Manchester
  • August 27 – Leeds
  • August 28 – Cardiff

It’s a major statement from WWE, especially after what went down on the August 4 episode of Raw. Punk was ambushed by Seth Rollins’ new faction, The Vision, in a brutal attack that left him laid out.

This UK tour is clearly part of WWE’s strategy to build heat going into Clash In Paris, where Punk is expected to be a major part of the card—even if a formal match hasn’t been confirmed yet.

For UK fans, it’s a rare chance to see Punk up close multiple nights in a row. For everyone else, the storyline with Rollins, Roman, and LA Knight continues to build—and it looks like things are about to explode.
