CM Punk is back in WWE after nearly a decade and has replaced Superstar Jey Uso on the Monday Night RAW. The former AEW star made a triumphant return to WWE during the climax of the Survivor Series: WarGames in Chicago. Following his return, he hinted at the possibility of signing with all three WWE brands by making appearances on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
On the December 11 edition of Raw, CM Punk formally declared his affiliation with the Monday Night Raw roster, officially signing with the brand. Punk had been a free agent since his return.
During this segment, Seth Rollins confronted him, leading to a heated exchange where Rollins labeled Punk as a fraud. With this new addition of the red brand, WWE has initiated updates to the RAW advertised poster.
In its official website update, WWE prominently showcased CM Punk on the RAW banner, sharing the spotlight with wrestling stars, such as Cody Rhodes, Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, and Gunther. Notably, Punk replaced Jey Uso on the banner for the red brand.

Orton has replaced Charlotte Flair, who recently suffered an injury.
