310lbs behemoth to attack CM Punk at the behest of Drew McIntyre on WWE NXT tonight? Exploring the chances
On tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW, CM Punk delivered a strong message to Drew McIntyre ahead of their clash at the Bad Blood PLE. While the WWE Universe will hear McIntyre's response next week on RAW, Punk is scheduled to make another appearance on NXT this week.
As per NXT General Manager Ava, the Best in the World will be appearing on the developmental brand to make a special announcement. While fans are eager to know what the announcement is, there is a chance a 310lbs wrestler could attack Punk. The 310lbs wrestler in question is Oba Femi.
Tonight on NXT, Femi could take out CM Punk on behalf of Drew McIntyre. The reason Femi could do something along these lines is because during a Reddit AMA session to promote his movie, "The Killer's Game," McIntyre was asked who he would have in his faction if he were to build something like Evolution.
The Scotsman named Oba Femi and Bron Breakker as the two men who would be in his faction. Hence, Femi could attack CM Punk and look to build a relationship with McIntyre. Doing this could also earn Femi a direct entry on the main roster.
Wrestling veteran criticized CM Punk's promo on the recent edition of Monday Night RAW
Last night's episode of Monday Night RAW witnessed CM Punk return to the red brand for the first time in two weeks after he was viciously attacked by Drew McIntyre. On his return, Punk cut a promo directed to McIntyre and spoke about their upcoming Hell in a Cell match at the Bad Blood PLE.
While the promo received a good response from those in attendance, a wrestling veteran did not think much of it. During a recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, ex-WWE writer Vince Russo questioned the point of Punk's promo. He said:
"After all that's been going on with these two, like what is that promo supposed to do that hasn't already been done? That's what I talk about bro, prolonging and prolonging. Why are we in a different place this week than we were in last week." [6:42 onwards]

As mentioned earlier, the WWE Universe will hear from Drew McIntyre next week on RAW. Until then, it will be interesting to see what's the special announcement CM Punk will be making tonight on NXT.
