Monday night the Raw roster returned to the Allstate Arena in Chicago, IL and the fans in attendance were happy to greet quite a few of the stars with CM Punk chants. CM Punk chants are to be expected when WWE visits Chicago, and Stephanie McMahon wasted no time shutting them down during her segment.
