• The lighthearted feud between CM Punk and the Riot Fest music festival in Chicago continues to thrive. Riot Fest’s website humorously lists “no CM Punk” among its prohibited items, maintaining the running gag that Punk is banned from attending the festival.
This playful back-and-forth has become a fun tradition, with the festival in the past sharing tongue-in-cheek reasons why Punk was supposedly banned, including his past attendance and who he came to see.
CM Punk, always game for a joke, has leaned into the humor by sharing the ongoing joke with his fans, as shown in his recent Instagram story, where he wrote:
“F**k @riot_fest”
Despite the ban being entirely in jest, the exchange has become a beloved part of Riot Fest’s culture, keeping fans entertained year after year.
• In August, RAW wrestler Dakota Kai suffered a meniscus tear, sidelining her with a recovery timeline of 8 to 10 weeks. The news was met with sympathy from both fans and colleagues, as Kai is well-liked and respected within WWE.
This injury follows her recent return to the ring after being out for nearly a year due to an ACL tear in May 2023. Despite these setbacks, Kai has fans buzzing once again as they eagerly anticipate her next return to the ring.
Dakota is teasing her return, as she wrote the following on her Instagram story:
“See you soon.”
