WWE 2K24 has confirmed that CM Punk, when he launches in the ECW Punk DLC Pack on May 14, will have a 90 rating. It feels like a solid number for the Best in the World, but notably, it is also a single point higher than the former World Heavyweight Champion Drew McIntyre who has an 89 overall rating.
It’s uncertain if McIntyre knows of this yet, but the rating difference could be a point of contention. It’s almost worse that it’s a single point higher than a few points, although whether or not McIntyre acknowledges the difference in WWE 2K24 or not remains to be seen. As many know, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have been involved in a feud ever since CM Punk’s return to WWE. Perhaps the biggest moment of this feud, thus far, was when CM Punk attacked Drew McIntyre during his moment at WrestleMania 40 – opening him up for current World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest to cash in his Senor Money in the Bank suitcase and assume the title, after McIntyre’s short 5-minute reign.
WWE 2K24 Reveals CM Punk Model
WWE 2K24 finally reveals CM Punk’s DLC character model, marking the self-proclaimed Best in the World’s long-awaited return to the series.
Ahead of his rating, WWE 2K24 had shown off an official in-game screenshot of CM Punk as well as his entrance. The Pro Wrestling Shoot Podcast would then share an image of CM Punk, sporting his 90 overall rating, which was retweeted by the official WWE 2K24 account. It’s uncertain if McIntyre’s rating had any involvement in this decision-making, but it is notably a peculiar choice when looking at CM Punk’s return. Since his return at Survivor Series, CM Punk has not been in a lot of televised matches. He was injured during the Royal Rumble, which McIntyre prayed for, and right now both men are on WWE’s injured list. That has not stopped the shots at each other on WWE TV or on social media, meaning this reveal could add more fuel to the fire.
While Punk is arguably the biggest draw of the ECW Punk DLC Pack, he’s not the only superstar joining the roster. It also includes The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von), The Sandman, and Terry Funk, all of which are exciting additions to the roster. This is CM Punk’s first appearance in a WWE video game in 10 years, while The Sandman notably hasn’t been in a WWE video game since SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 (released 17 years ago).
WWE 2K24 DLC
The ECW Punk Pack releases May 15, after which fans can expect the other packs to periodically release. They are dubbed the Post Malone & Friends Pack, the Pat McAfee Pack, the Global Superstars Pack, and the WCW Pack.
