Punk is approaching the two-year anniversary of his return to WWE and is currently at the top of the card on Monday Night Raw. He recently won a triple threat match to become the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.

After becoming the number one contender on Raw, he is in a prime position to compete for the title, which was vacated due to Seth Rollins' injury, as WWE heads towards Survivor Series: WarGames.
