CM Punk's former UFC adversary sends a bold message following recent AEW allegations
CM Punk's recent feud with Jon Moxley and the alleged real-life heat with Hangman Adam Page has garnered the attention of Punk's former UFC rival, Mike Jackson.
During the time of the Second City Saint's retirement after leaving WWE and before joining AEW, he tried his luck in the UFC. Despite having spent a considerable amount of time in the business, he only fought 2 matches. Furthermore, Punk lost both the matches against Mickey Gall and Mike Jackson consecutively.
Since his return to AEW, however, the World Champion has had a great run in the Jacksonville-based Promotion. However, the recent allegations of real-life heat with Hangman Page have seemingly put the star in a sticky spot with fans.
CM Punk's former rival, Mike Jackson, recently took to Twitter to post a cheeky message to the Second City Saint amidst the speculations.
"If someone needs me, let me know."

CM Punk's remarks regarding Hangman Page were criticized recently by a WWE Hall of Famer
The Second City Saint's comments during his recent promo did not sit well with many, including WWE veteran Bully Ray.
During an episode of Busted Open Radio, the WWE Hall of Famer called out Punk for his apparently distasteful remarks. He stated that Hangman's name being mentioned served no useful purpose.
“Putting Hangman [Page] back into this picture doesn’t really do anything for me, but I do agree with why go out of your way to bury him in his hometown? Why go from cowboy sh*t to coward sh*t? Now if Hangman doesn’t answer that coward sh*t line, now people have to look at him like he’s a bit of a b**ch. If I’m a Hangman fan I’m wondering ‘hey, where were you last night?’ And if you never answer this, and I think he will, because AEW is good at planting a seed here and not coming back to it for a while.” [15:04-15:40]
