To update CM Punk’s current WWE status and help dispel any rumors regarding last night’s decision to replace him with Chris Jericho in the Raw Scramble match, prowrestling.net is reporting that Punk was NOT injured following the PPV last night, nor is he being punished for any kind of behavioral issues. Creative simply booked him out of the match last night in order to further a feud between him and Randy Orton. Punk is NOT backstage at Raw as of this writing and most likely will not appear on the show so that he can sell the “injuries” he received last night.
