Is CM Punk in WWE 2K24?

WWE 2K24 provides hundreds of Superstars for players to control in a variety of game modes. If you’re wondering whether CM Punk is on the roster, we have the answer.

The fan-favorite looked to be done with WWE after an exit in 2014, but a surprise return at Survivor Series last year opened the door to potentially featuring in the WWE 2K24 roster—but did he make the cut? We’ve explained everything below.

Is CM Punk included in the WWE 2K24 roster?

No, CM Punk is not included in the base roster for WWE 2K24, but he will be added as part of the first DLC pack.

WWE 2K24 will receive several DLC packs throughout the game’s lifetime and CM Punk, who hasn’t been in the series since WWE 2K15, is confirmed to be included in the ECW Punk Pack, which will release on May 15, 2024.

While CM Punk’s absence in WWE 2K24 at launch may be disappointing, it isn’t surprising given he has only recently returned to WWE. CM Punk’s surprise appearance at Survivor Series in 2023 was his first WWE appearance in a decade, while his first televised match in WWE saw him enter January’s Royal Rumble—where he, unfortunately, tore his tricep, leaving him unavailable for WrestleMania.

CM Punk’s inclusion in the first WWE 2K24 DLC pack will come ahead of his return to action in the ring, as the layoff time for a torn tricep is around six months. As such, CM Punk is not expected to return until the summer—but he can star in your WWE 2K24 Universe in the meantime.

While CM Punk will appear in WWE 2K24 eventually, the same cannot be said for Brock Lesnar, who has been omitted from the full roster and DLC packs due to ongoing allegations.
