CM Punk set to appear on AEW Rampage for a big announcement
AEW World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk will make an appearance today on Rampage to announce the status of his world title reign and overall career.
Punk became world champion in Double or Nothing 2022 by beating Hangman Page. Then, last Wednesday on Dynamite, he opened up the show with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), defeating the trio of Max Caster, Austin, and Colten Gunn.
After this trios matchup, numerous videos showed him reportedly hobbling, seemingly pointing to an injury, but that hasn't been confirmed.
The Second City Saint took to Twitter to urge fans to watch today's show, as he is set to make an important announcement concerning his AEW World Championship reign and his career as well.
"I’ll be on #AEWRampage live tonight with an important announcement in regards to the @aew world championship, and my career. Please tune in at 9pm CST/10pm EST," Punk tweeted.

In addition, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful stated that Punk's foot was reportedly hurt after the match. However, fans will have to tune into Rampage to see if this report will be addressed during the latter's announcement today.
