Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, featuring CM Punk and The Hurt Business.
• WWE is gearing up for the launch of RAW on Netflix, marking a new era for the red brand with uncensored, three-hour episodes.
CM Punk is playing a central role in the promotional campaign, following his grand return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023 after nearly a decade away.
Speaking to Peter Rosenberg, Punk reflected on being featured prominently in the promotional materials for RAW’s Netflix debut. “I stay ready, apparently. I’m front and center on a lot of the signage I’ve seen. It’s kinda daunting,” Punk admitted.
When asked about how it feels to be the face of this campaign, Punk responded, “It feels good to a point, but I’m the guy who likes to live kinda private, incognito, but they’re just putting me on blast. I get it, I’m here, that’s why I’m here. I’m here to help Netflix, and Netflix is here to help us.”

• MVP revealed on X that Vince McMahon wanted to turn The Hurt Business into Nation of Domination 2.0 and even brought in Ron Simmons and Mark Henry.
Here’s what he tweeted:
“There was a moment during the ‘PC Era’ when the old man wanted to turn ‘The Hurt Business’ into NOD 2.0. He even brought in Mark & Ron. We fought him on it.
Our group was NEVER about RACE. It’s always been about our organic friendship and desire to make money doing what we love!”
When a fan asked if Triple H ever gave him a reason as to why he doesn’t want to bring back The Hurt Business, MVP replied:
“Always avoided the conversation.”
MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin have reunited in AEW and their faction is now called The Hurt Syndicate.
