WWE.com is reporting that last night after Raw, CM Punk took a late night flight to Florida for an emergency consultation with Dr. James Andrews. A review of his condition resulted in the WWE Champion’s immediate surgery today.
Dr. Andrews completed a scope of CM Punk’s left knee and successfully trimmed a cartilage tear in Punk’s knee.
“CM Punk underwent knee surgery today to remove a piece of torn meniscus that had locked up his knee,” said Andrews’ colleague, WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann. “The surgery, performed by Dr. James Andrews, went smoothly and CM Punk is expected to make a full recovery.”
People within the company are speculating on his status for the main event of the TLC PPV against Ryback but believe that “no matter what” CM Punk will face The Rock at the Royal Rumble for the WWE Championship.
