WWE Raw results: Live recap, grades as CM Punk and Randy Orton make their television returns

While Randy Orton’s return at Survivor Series to help his team win WarGames was big news, it was overshadowed moments later when CM Punk stole every headline in the wrestling world by returning to WWE for the first time since leaving the company in 2014. Punk and Orton are both set to appear during Raw on Monday night.

Punk’s return was a shock but WWE jumped at the chance to bring back a former multi-time world champion after Punk split from AEW following a series of backstage altercations. Now, after years of claiming he would never return to WWE, Punk is back in the fold.

Orton is also set to appear, which will mark his first appearance on Raw since May 2022, having been sidelined due to injury.

CBS Sports will be with you all night with recaps and highlights of all the action from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
