CM Punk was on hand at the WWE Draft Monday night for Raw where he was eligible to be drafted by either brand. As WWE CCO Paul"Triple H" Levesque made clear ahead of the draft, it's important to retain as much talent on your roster as possible. Punk was undoubtedly one of the biggest names up for grabs Monday, alongside Jade Cargill, Drew McIntyre, Imperium and Damage CTRL.
Though Punk is currently out injured, he will officially remain on the Raw roster upon his return. He's been active in several storylines despite his absence, including with Seth Rollins who just got surgery following his WrestleMania 40 loss and Drew McIntyre who has been a thorn in Punk's side ever since his return.
Punk was the reason that McIntyre lost the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania to Damian Priest just minutes after winning it. With Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes shifting over to SmackDown, there's a fairly large hole that needs to be filled for a top babyface in WWE. Punk feels like the most natural fit to execute that plan, so him sticking with Raw isn't really a surprise.
