Veteran believes CM Punk could never turn heel again
The veteran sports journalist, Bill Apter believes it's hard for fans to turn against CM Punk at this stage of his wrestling career. Speaking exclusively on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Apter stated the following:
"When Punk left the ring as the 'referee,' did you notice fans embracing him and yelling out CM Punk? No matter what he does, I don't think fans are ever gonna turn against him again. I mean, we are in Drew's hometown!"
Meanwhile, Punk is out of action currently after the assault by Drew McIntyre on SmackDown last week, which could be a part of the Kayfabe. Only time will tell when Second City Saint gets medically cleared to compete and challenges Drew to an actual bout.
