CM Punk hasn’t been confirmed as a playable character in WWE 2K24 yet, but the Chicago-born superstar recently made the case to be added as DLC down the road. Nearly ten years after his last virtual appearance in a WWE video game and just a few months removed from his controversial departure from AEW, CM Punk shocked audiences by walking out to the ring at the very end of November’s Survivor Series live event. Since then, there has been much speculation about Punk’s WWE future, including whether or not he will appear in the upcoming WWE 2K24.
WWE announced its latest video game in January, shortly before the Royal Rumble event that marked CM Punk’s first televised WWE match since 2014. In the time since then, various current and legendary superstars have been confirmed as playable characters in WWE 2K24, with the near-complete roster being released earlier this month. There has been plenty of confusion and controversy about who’s in the game and what the proper character ratings should be for big-name performers like Cody Rhodes, but few are expecting CM Punk to make an appearance in the base roster due to how close his surprise return was to WWE 2K24’s planned March 8 release date.
CM Punk himself recently addressed his current absence from WWE 2K24’s playable roster by posting a video of himself on Instagram Stories. In this video, Punk acknowledged that his relatively recent return is an obstacle to him appearing in WWE 2K24, and that Visual Concepts has already revealed the bulk of the game’s base roster. He also noted that he wasn’t teased in the initial WWE 2K24 DLC packs either, prompting fans to wonder if he will be featured at all. Hence, Punk stated that he intends to “get to the bottom” of his WWE 2K24 status, with fans sharing his video across social media.
So far, CM Punk’s last official video game appearance was in last year’s AEW Fight Forever, which was released a few months before he parted ways with AEW and returned to WWE. Meanwhile, fans who have missed Punk in WWE have recreated him for recent entries like WWE 2K23 using the in-game character creation suite.
Given how his popularity among wrestling fans and the buzz his WWE return has generated, it would be difficult to imagine CM Punk not being added to WWE 2K24 as a DLC character eventually, but nothing has been confirmed so far. His latest inquiry about the game has garnered quite a response from players, so it might be a matter of time before the Voice of the Voiceless makes himself heard in a WWE video game once again.

A WWE 2K24 player recently recreated the legendary Sabu using the game’s character creation suite, but the superstar himself seems less than thrilled at the result.

He has appeared in numerous wrestling video games over the years, such as ECW Hardcore Revolution, the Legends of Wrestling series, and Backyard Wrestling: Don’t Try This At Home.
As WrestleMania celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, everything surrounding WWE feels bigger in 2024, including the release of its latest game, WWE 2K24.
