Shawn Michaels wanted WWE Superstar CM Punk to do him a favor
Before CM Punk made his return to WWE at Survivor Series, Shawn Michaels publicly admitted that he wanted The Straight Edge Superstar to sign with the Stamford-based promotion and join the white and gold brand.
In a media call before the NXT Deadline, The Heartbreak Kid said that The Second City Saint should do him a favor by showing up on Saturday.
Shawn Michaels also mentioned that it was not a difficult decision for anyone to sign Punk once again.
"I spoke well of CM Punk in the previous call. He should do me the favor of appearing on NXT [laughs]. I don't think it was a difficult decision for anyone. This is a business," the legend joked.
Fans believe Punk's first feud might be against Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship. It remains to be seen what the Stamford-based promotion has planned for his future.
