CM Punk teases major announcement on WWE RAW
CM Punk shared a potential major tease ahead of tonight's edition of WWE RAW. The veteran is scheduled to appear during tonight's show in Florida.
The former AEW star tore his triceps during the Men's Royal Rumble match in January. He returned to the ring at SummerSlam to battle Drew McIntyre in a singles match with Seth Rollins as the Special Guest Referee. McIntyre picked up the victory, but Punk attacked The Scottish Warrior last Monday night. The Second City Saint whipped McIntyre with his belt several times before the former World Heavyweight Champion retreated.
Punk took to his Instagram story ahead of tonight's edition of WWE RAW and shared a one-word message. He wrote "Achtung!", which is German for "attention!". WWE Bash in Berlin will take place in Germany on August 31. You can check out Punk's Instagram story by clicking here.
Seth Rollins and CM Punk had a confrontation on RAW following SummerSlam. The 45-year-old hit Rollins with a GTS during the match, and they teased a rivalry following the Premium Live Event earlier this month. However, Rollins was written off of WWE television due to a brutal attack from Bronson Reed.
WWE legend Shawn Michaels comments on CM Punk's role on the October 1 edition of NXT
NXT will be moving from the USA Network to the CW Network in October and the first episode will be airing live from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois. CM Punk has been announced for the upcoming show, and Shawn Michaels recently detailed what fans can expect.
In an interview with 103.5 Kiss FM, The Heartbreak Kid shared why Punk would be appearing on the show. He noted the veteran texted him when he found out the show was in Chicago and asked to be a part of it. Michaels added that he does not know what Punk will be doing yet but confirmed he will have a "major role."
"Right now, we’re still kind of working that out but I’m telling you, you have the opportunity to have one of the biggest global superstars in all of WWE offer to be a part of your show, clearly, you take advantage of that so, we’re certainly gonna do that. He’s gonna have a major role. We haven’t quite defined what that is yet. But I can promise you, it’ll be something big going down on October 1st with CM Punk in NXT," he said. [H/T Ringside News]
