Punk out post-Christmas house shows (Replaced by Heyman vs Ryback @ MSG)

[GrammarNazi82]

C.M. Punk has been pulled from advertising for the post-Christmas house shows, the traditional biggest house show week of the year domestically.

When Punk had surgery on 12/4, the prognosis was three to four weeks out, which meant they were hopeful he would be back wrestling on the tour that starts 12/26.

For Madison Square Garden on 12/28, the C.M. Punk vs. Ryback cage match for the title has been changed to a John Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler cage match main event and a Ryback vs. Paul Heyman singles match.

Consider the source (Meltzer), but considering event cards can be viewed online, this would seem to be a pretty hard thing to screw up.

Not surprising, they don't want him to re-aggravate his injuries so he's fresh for RR and WM.

Exactly. I figured whether he legit "needs" the extra recovery time or not that they would still keep him out for a "safe" period of time to make sure he's ready for bigger PPVs and events.

Heyman to Wrestle?

Paul Heyman will wrestle for the first time ever in Madison Square Garden for WWE's December 28th RAW live event in New York City. Heyman is now booked to face Ryback after injured WWE Champion CM Punk was pulled from the card.

Punk was originally set to face Ryback in a steel cage match but the new cage match will feature Dolph Ziggler vs. John Cena. The Shield's Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns will also be in action, making their MSG debut. Other stars advertised include Kane, Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio, The Miz, Zack Ryder, R-Truth and Santino Marella.
