CM Punk had an absolute blast at last week’s WWE NXT Deadline pay-per-view event, according to NXT commentator and Hall of Famer Booker T.
Punk appeared during the opening segment of the show with Shawn Michaels. Punk was asked about appearing at Deadline while attending last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
On a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T spoke about Punk’s presence at NXT’s most recent event. He said,
“CM Punk wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t hidden away in some room making a surprise appearance. He was running around and mingling. I ran into CM Punk in catering. Was sitting there talking to Jeremy Borash. I walked up to CM Punk and said, ‘CM Punk! What up man?!?’ He stands up and he goes, ‘What’s up, man? You flip flopper’ [laughs]. I go, ‘You know how the business is, sometimes you’re a heel, sometimes you’re a babyface.’ [laughs].
“It was very cool. We talked, small talk, he seemed to be at peace and ready to re-write the legacy of CM Punk and finish it off properly. I can’t say anything bad about him. I know people wish I would say something bad about CM Punk. I ain’t kissing ass or anything, either. It just seemed like he was in a calm space.”
On this week’s episode of RAW, Punk signed a contract with the red brand and declared that he will compete in the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match.
