CM Punk will return on Raw tonight at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.

Punk, who suffered a torn triceps in the Royal Rumble, will appear tonight in his hometown. Before the injury, Punk was planned to challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. It will now be Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre at Mania. McIntyre attacked Punk on Raw after the Royal Rumble and has taken great delight in Punk's misfortune.

Five matches have also been announced for tonight. Sami Zayn will face Bronson Reed, less than two weeks away from Zayn's WrestleMania match against Intercontinental Champion Gunther.

Candice LeRae faces Ivy Nile. LeRae bullied Nile’s partner Maxxine Dupri in a tag match two weeks ago which led to LeRae and Indi Hartwell picking up the win.

Plus, Jey Uso vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, Ricochet vs. JD McDonagh, and Andrade vs. Giovanni Vinci have all been announced. Ivar was originally supposed to be Andrade's opponent but has been pulled from the match.

Our live coverage starts at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
