In the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, CM Punk from Chicago became the center of attention from the home crowd. He initiated his monologue by challenging the home audience to outperform their foreign counterparts in cheering.
Highlighting his unlikely journey, Punk shared his birth circumstance where he was born with the umbilical cord around his neck, he emphasized that he “wasn’t supposed to be here.” In his address, he expressed his gratitude towards his spouse April, attributing her support as his strength. This acknowledgment led to a substantial roar of “AJ Lee”. Punk extended his gratitude towards his beloved fans and shared his hard-earned position at WrestleMania’s main event. Reminiscing about his past, Punk mentioned his only former WrestleMania main event experience that was as a gangster during John Cena’s entry at WrestleMania 22.
He pledged his commitment to defeat Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 41, indicating his dedication and commitment.
In a surprising turn of events, Paul Heyman appeared and lauded Punk as his closest confidante, asserting Punk’s place in the main event. Recollecting his request for Punk’s return at Survivor Series to aid The Bloodline, he mentioned borrowing a favour from Punk. Heyman alerted Punk about the furious Reigns, who hadn’t yet arrived, and hinted that the favour might unnerve Reigns — suggesting they should discuss it in person.
On the same episode, the audience saw a new facet of Drew McIntyre via a new vignette, with McIntyre donning an eye patch and addressing Damian Priest. McIntyre accused Priest of gaining at his expense, emphasizing every significant moment Priest enjoyed came from his misfortunes. He berated Priest for capitalizing on his troubles.
Expressing his discontent, McIntyre vented his anger at Priest for ambushing him when he is dealing with grievous injuries, including a potential eye damage due to glass pieces. He concluded with a foreboding statement, warning that the consequences could be severe when he prays for a miracle.
