CM Punk has been notably absent from WWE television following his appearance on RAW after WrestleMania 34.

Further fueling speculation, Punk has been removed from numerous advertised upcoming appearances, including the majority of WWE's European Summer Tour and several June RAW dates. While Dave Meltzer reported this as a simple schedule change, Punk himself had stated post-WrestleMania that he was not planning time off.
As of July 6, CM Punk's next confirmed advertised WWE appearance is scheduled for RAW in his hometown of Chicago. The creative team's plans for his return to WWE programming remain to be seen.
