CM Punk had a poignant message for the WWE Universe following his electrifying appearance on last night’s RAW at the Allstate Arena in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
The controversial wrestling icon, who sustained a triceps injury during the Men’s Royal Rumble match on January 27, made a significant announcement.
Punk is set to serve as a guest commentator during the highly anticipated World Heavyweight Championship clash between Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania XL.
McIntyre, who has been embroiled in a feud with Punk, didn’t miss the chance to taunt the veteran during last night’s episode.
During the show, Punk made it clear he never had to rely on another man’s name to sell merchandise, a subtle jab at his adversaries.
However, his moment was rudely interrupted by Rollins, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, who further belittled Punk for his absence from in-ring action and even delivered a Stomp to McIntyre in the ring.
Taking to Instagram after RAW, Punk humorously remarked on the “record-breaking” night, poking fun at the exaggerated attendance figures. He expressed his love for the fans and emphasized the thrill of being part of the action.
Meanwhile, former WWE writer Vince Russo expressed his dissatisfaction with Punk’s role at WrestleMania XL.
Russo argued that Punk’s involvement as a guest commentator was underwhelming and proposed a more impactful role, suggesting him as the guest referee for the title match.
Despite Punk’s absence from the ring, McIntyre has kept their rivalry alive, ensuring that anticipation for their eventual showdown remains high.
As WrestleMania XL approaches, fans eagerly await to see who will emerge victorious in the clash for the World Heavyweight Championship.
