Punk underwent surgery last week for his torn triceps muscle, which was documented on Monday Night Raw this past week.
The two join a list of talents including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair.
The expectation is that the key matches for WrestleMania will be set.
Johnson confirmed on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday that he will be wrestling at WrestleMania in April. Johnson’s last “real” match occurred at WrestleMania 29 against John Cena in April 2013, although technically had a several-second match against Erick Rowan in April 2016.
The press event will be streaming on Peacock and WWE’s social channels at 7 p.m. ET.
