WWE Figure Teases Booker T Following CM Punk drama

In a lighthearted exchange, NXT commentator Vic Joseph playfully ribbed WWE Hall of Famer Booker T during this week’s broadcast, reigniting conversation surrounding a recent CM Punk-related incident.

Booker T stirred curiosity on his podcast by hinting at a backstage encounter with CM Punk during a recent NXT event, prompting speculation about potential tensions between the two wrestling icons. While details remained scant, the mere mention of the altercation fueled fan speculation.

During the latest NXT episode, Roxanne Perez, a protege of Booker T, found herself in a heated exchange with NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria.

Seizing the moment, Vic Joseph couldn’t resist teasing Booker T by drawing a parallel between Perez’s newfound assertiveness and CM Punk’s outspoken nature, quipping:

“[Perez] has become vocal much like one of her idols, your good friend CM Punk, who returns to Chicago on RAW.”

Booker T, amused by the jest, responded with mock disbelief:

“Tell me you did not just say that.”

Unfazed, Vic Joseph reaffirmed his remark, prompting laughter and camaraderie between the colleagues.

Expanding on his podcast remarks, Booker T clarified his stance on CM Punk, emphasizing their friendship and downplaying any perceived animosity:

“Contrary to popular belief, I consider CM Punk a friend. So when I’m saying something about CM Punk, guys, do not take it literally like the internet and these sites do. Don’t take it serious, don’t jump into that mud. If you hear me say anything here on The Hall of Fame, this show is show-related. I’m trying to entertain my fans that are watching this, trying to give you guys a moment where you ain’t got to think about that kind of stuff, alright?”

As anticipation mounts for CM Punk’s WWE return on Monday Night RAW in his hometown of Chicago, the wrestling community eagerly awaits further developments in this ongoing saga, poised for an electrifying chapter in sports entertainment history.
