CM PUNK SURGERY AND FUTURE UPDATE

Dr. James Andrews scoped CM Punk's knee to repair a cartilage tear that was forcing Punk's knee to lock up today. While WWE blamed the injury on Ryback putting Punk through a table on Raw, the surgery was likely planned as Punk had been dealing with knee issues for several weeks.

According to several WWE Creative sources, there are no plans being made to current WWE storylines, so it appears Punk will continue his storyline with Ryback, although the knee surgery will be written into it.

While we haven't heard this 100%, the belief internally is Punk is still expecting to wrestle at TLC. We shall see, but if that is the case, he is one tough SOB.
