Fans will be granted access to a CM Punk Meet and Greet with VIP tickets. Punk joins a long list of notable WWE talent such as Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Pat McAfee, and Charlotte Flair who will be attending WWE World.

Punk suffered a torn triceps injury during the men's Royal Rumble match earlier this year. Things went awry for Punk when he took Drew McIntyre's Future Shock DDT. WWE has since been playing up the injury in storyline with McIntyre taking credit for Punk's absence in a marquee WrestleMania match.

"The Best in The World" is advertised for the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw on April 1st. That show will emanate from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.
