CM Punk News: Former WWE Superstar gets into an altercation with a fan
Former WWE and UFC star CM Punk recently got into an altercation with a fan while announcing at the CFFC 77 event, which emanated from the Hard Rock Hotel Casino in Atlantic City on August 16th. While Chris Daukaus was being announced as the winner of his bout with Danny Holmes, Punk could be heard asking someone to back off, followed by what seemed like a scuffle.
The never-ending speculation
It has been over five years since CM Punk left the WWE on a sour note, immediately after his appearance at the Royal Rumble 2014 PPV. The WWE Universe as well as fans of Punk have been clamoring for his return to the company ever since, but it seems that Punk might never step foot inside a WWE ring again, especially now that reports have come out regarding WWE not being interested in him.
Over the past several months, fans speculated that Punk might make his way to All Elite Wrestling, and many were hoping for him to make his AEW debut at Double or Nothing, the company's first show. This didn't happen though, and former WWE Superstar Jon Moxley made his shocking debut instead. Punk took several shots at fans who speculated on him possibly going to AEW, and also took a jibe at the company in a tweet. He signed with CFFC as a commentator, back in 2018.
