Shocking CM Punk stat surfaces following WWE RAW
A surprising CM Punk stat has come out that is bound to leave his fans dumbfounded. The stat came to some fans' notice after the latest episode of RAW.
Punk made his WWE return at the Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 Premium Live Event. He has been a mainstay on WWE TV since then and is currently feuding with Drew McIntyre. Interestingly, the Second City Saint has only competed in two singles matches since his return to the Stamford-based promotion (not counting the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble Match and Punk's live event bouts against Dominik Mysterio).
On October 1, 2024, Ethan Page and Trick Williams will compete in an NXT Championship match. CM Punk will be the Special Guest Referee for the much-anticipated title bout. At Clash at the Castle 2024, Punk took on the role of a referee in the main event, only to attack Drew McIntyre with a low blow. Thus, on October 1, the Best in the World will have refereed the same number of matches he has wrestled since his WWE return.
What the future has in store for Punk remains to be seen.
Drew McIntyre was annoyed over CM Punk's WWE return
Drew McIntyre stormed off to the back when CM Punk made his WWE return last year at Survivor Series: WarGames. Punk went on to kick off a feud with The Scottish Warrior. McIntyre recently spoke with Mike Johnson of PWInsider and opened up about his reaction to Punk's return:
"I mean, if I had a chance to really think about it, initially, I was pretty annoyed, but I understand business and I understand why it was done, but I found it interesting that everybody started going, oh, it's obviously going to be this, or obviously going to be this guy. I was sitting there thinking, there's a lot of real history here, and a lot of real feelings I've got and if I get the opportunity, I know we could tell the most compelling story of all, because no matter my real feelings, I'm still a professional, you know?"

Mere days after Punk referees the NXT Championship match, he will compete in his third match at Bad Blood 2024. Punk will take on McIntyre inside Hell in a Cell at the PLE.
