CM Punk has been prominently featured in WWE’s recent programming, once again impacting a major match on the latest episode of RAW.
At WrestleMania XL, the Second City Saint assumed the role of commentator during the World Heavyweight Championship match between Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre.
After allowing the match to progress smoothly, Punk intervened by attacking McIntyre, ultimately paving the way for Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and clinch the title.
In the subsequent RAW, CM Punk continued to influence events, costing McIntyre the number-one contender’s match, ultimately won by Jey Uso.
Reflecting on his victory in a Digital Exclusive, Uso humorously attributed his success to bonding experiences with Punk, quipping about enjoying ice cream and attending hockey games together.
“When asked about receiving assistance from Punk during his match, Jey Uso joked that they got ice cream together and went to watch a hockey game,”
noted the article, quoting Uso’s playful banter.
WWE’s decision to position Jey Uso as the first challenger to Damian Priest’s World Heavyweight Championship has been well-received.
With his potential to push the new champion to his limits, Uso’s rise adds an exciting dynamic to the championship scene.
Meanwhile, the rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre continues to CHARM RAW audiences.
McIntyre’s triumph over Punk at the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble Match, resulting in Punk’s sidelining due to injury, set the stage for McIntyre’s ascent into the World Heavyweight Championship picture.
