WWE Champion CM Punk Reportedly Medically Cleared To Compete On This Monday's Raw

The official WWE website announced Wednesday that WWE Champion CM Punk has been medically cleared to defend his title against Ryback in a TLC Match on this Monday's Raw, according to sources.

The match had originally been scheduled for the WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view, but immediate knee surgery on December 4 postponed that contest until he had fully recuperated.

WWE's sources indicate that final decision on Punk's status will be presented on tonight's episode of WWE Main Event on ION Television.
