Summary
WWE 2K24has officially revealed CM Punk’s in-game model, marking the Straight-Edge Superstar’s first appearance in a WWE video game in nearly 10 years. WWE fans thought that they had seen the last of CM Punk when he left the company back in 2014, only to be taken by surprise when he walked down the entrance ramp at the very end of the Survivor Series live event in November. However, this moment came too late for him to be included in the baseWWE 2K24, which launched to rave reviews back in March.
It wouldn’t take long for fans to start demanding that CM Punk be added toWWE 2K24’s roster in a future DLC pack, with Punk himself even lobbying for it on social media shortly before he was officially confirmed for the game. CM Punk will be added as part ofWWE 2K24’s upcoming ECW Punk Pack, which includes a handful of Extreme Championship Wrestling legends like The Sandman, The Dudley Boyz, and Terry Funk. This is only the first wave ofWWE 2K24DLC characters, and players will finally get to add these hardcore wrestlers to their line-ups on May 15.
All week long,WWE 2K24has been showing off the character models for the new wrestlers in the ECW Punk Pack, and now it’s time forWWE 2K24’s CM Punk to be shownin all his digital glory. A screenshot of the self-proclaimed Best in the World was just posted to the officialWWE 2K24Twitter account, featuring the former WWE Champion walking to the ring while wearing his signature black T-shirt, which sports the Chicago flag with Punk’s own fist-and-lighting bolt symbol in the center.
WWE 2K24 ECW Punk DLC List
WWE 2K24will be the first time CM Punk has been a playable character in anofficial WWE-branded video gamesinceWWE 2K15, but he has been featured in numerous titles outside of the company over the past several years. Punk was playable in theEA Sports UFCseries fromUFC 2toUFC 4, as well asAEW Fight Forever- which was released just a few months before his return to WWE. Meanwhile,WWE 2K23players have used the game’s character creation options to play as Punk even before his officialWWE 2K24comeback.
Players won’t have to wait too much longer for that comeback, as theWWE 2K24ECW Punk Pack DLCis set to be released next week. These fans have been especially eager to step into the virtual arena as CM Punk following his big return last year, especially since an injury has been keeping the real version out of action since January’s Royal Rumble. Nonetheless, CM Punk’sWWE 2K24character model looks great, and gamers will get to demonstrate why he calls himself the Best in the World come May 15.
