WWE Universe, kick off the holiday season with CM Punk this Thanksgiving. The Windy City native will be the Sports Grand Marshall at McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade in Chicago this Thursday.

Tune in to WGN-TV and the WGN-TV Superstation from 9 a.m. to noon ET for a special three-hour broadcast to see the Straightedge Superstar, along with Grand Marshall Jennie Finch of the Chicago Bandits, and countless marching bands, floats and giant helium balloons, as they make their way down Chicago's State Street. This year marks the parade's 75th anniversary.

Punk will also be meeting the WWE Universe before the parade kicks off. He'll be at the northeast corner of State and Madison streets at 8 a.m. CT greeting our fans in Chicago.
