CM Punk’s anticipated appearance during Night One of the WWE Draft turned out to be a post-show segment, signaling a potential shift in his status.
Although absent from SmackDown, Punk hinted at progress in his injury recovery, albeit acknowledging that he’s not yet at full strength.
However, the excitement was short-lived as the recently turned heel faction, Alpha Academy, crashed Punk’s segment.
Led by Chad Gable, the group made their presence known, setting the stage for a potential showdown with Punk.
The encounter sparked speculation of a dream match between Punk and Gable, with fans eager to witness the clash of styles. Gable’s recent heel turn adds an intriguing layer to the potential rivalry, offering ample room for creative exploration.
As Punk continues his journey back to the ring, likely targeting Drew McIntyre upon his return, the prospect of a matchup with Gable adds a new dimension to his future endeavors.
While the outcome remains uncertain, the possibility of Gable versus Punk promises an exciting storyline for WWE fans to anticipate in the coming months.
