Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk recently featured in an Instagram promotional video for UFC Rivals.

Punk looked in great shape in the video, where he asked fans to comment on their most shocking UFC rivalry moment. UFC Rivals is set to premiere on A&E this Sunday.

Punk has been absent from WWE TV since the RAW after WrestleMania 42. He lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Roman Reigns in the main event of Night Two. Amid his absence, footage of him looking absolutely jacked during training went viral on social media earlier this month.

Punk is reportedly set to return to WWE TV on the July 6 episode of Monday Night RAW, which is set to take place in his hometown of Chicago. However, there is no official confirmation regarding that.

Additionally, Dave Meltzer wrote in last week’s issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter [WON] that The Best in the World would join the SmackDown roster upon his return to television. Meltzer also claimed that a feud between Punk and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship is the planned direction for the Chicago native. Punk had a tense interaction with Cody during his most recent appearance on WWE TV, during which they teased a future showdown.
