ORIGINAL: WWE and the KIA Forum announced that CM Punk will be back in the ring later this month for the Live Holiday Tour event scheduled for Saturday, December 30 at the Forum in Inglewood, California. Per the announcement, Punk will be stepping into the ring against The Judgment Day’s Dominik Mysterio.

Tickets for the event are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com.

Punk has not wrestled since his match against Samoa Joe at AEW All In: London at Wembley Stadium on August 27. He later returned to WWE on November 25 at Survivor Series: WarGames. Unless CM Punk ends up wrestling before this scheduled contest, this will be his first match back in just under 10 years, when he competed the Royal Rumble match at the 2014 event in January of that year.

JUST ADDED! @CMPunk will face ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio at the @WWE Live Holiday Tour on Saturday, December 30!
