Below are a couple of top WWE & AEW news stories of the day, featuring CM Punk and Rampage.
• On the October 7th episode of RAW, CM Punk announced that he was in significant pain after the Hell in a Cell match against Drew McIntyre and would be stepping away from television for a while, with no clear timeline for his return.
It has been confirmed that Punk will not be part of the upcoming Crown Jewel premium live event in Saudi Arabia on November 2, and the reason for his absence has now been explained.
Here’s what Fightful Select reported about Punk’s absence from Crown Jewel:
“It’s abundantly clear that he’s not working the Saudi show because of something from a moral standpoint and probably the things he said prior.”
In 2020, Punk said the following to The Miz:
“Go suck a blood money covered d*ck in Saudi Arabia you f**king dork.”
