CM Punk vents frustration following recent WWE event
CM Punk vented his frustration on social media today after appearing at a recent WWE event. The Second City Saint will be competing in a Hell in a Cell match against Drew McIntyre at WWE Bad Blood this Saturday.
The 45-year-old served as the Special Guest Referee for the NXT Championship match between Ethan Page and Trick Williams last night on the CW Network. Trick Williams captured the title, and Punk hit Page with a GTS after the match.
Following the show, NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez took to social media to claim that Chicago was her town and shared an image with Punk. Perez defeated Giulia last night on WWE NXT to retain her title after Cora Jade interfered in the match.
CM Punk responded to Perez's message and hilariously referenced his infamous rant following AEW All Out 2022.
"I’m hurt, I’m old, I’m tired and I work with children 🙄," he wrote.
CM Punk got into multiple backstage altercations during his time in All Elite Wrestling. He got into a brawl with The Elite following his rant at the press conference after All Out 2022. The 45-year-old was fired by AEW after he got into an altercation with Jack Perry at All In 2023 at Wembley Stadium.
CM Punk shares what WWE fans can expect when RAW moves to Netflix
WWE RAW star CM Punk recently detailed what fans can expect when the red brand makes the jump to Netflix in January 2025.
In an interview with The Hot Tag on 103.5 FM, the former AEW World Champion noted that the company would push the envelope "a little bit" on Netflix. However, CM Punk added that WWE RAW would not change much on the streaming platform.
"I don't think you're going to see much difference than what it is now. I think we're pushing boundaries a little bit here and there. I just want to kind of temper people's expectations because I think there's a section of the fan base that's like, 'Oh, they're going to go to Netflix. There's going to be full frontal and swearing!' That's absolutely not the case. I think we've learned from The Attitude Era that you can only do that for so long before you try to outdo yourself every week, and it just becomes bad television. I think every once and again you can push the envelope," Punk said.

The rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has been going on since the veteran tore his triceps in the Men's Royal Rumble match in January. Only time will tell which star emerges victorious in the Hell in a Cell match at WWE Bad Blood.
