Former AEW star CM Punk received a surprising comment from former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest. Punk, who teamed up with the original Bloodline at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, has been in the spotlight recently.
Seth Rollins, who already had major issues with Punk, became angry after seeing him and Roman Reigns standing tall together. Following WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, Rollins confronted Punk, leading to a brawl that was broken up by Jey Uso and Sami Zayn.
In the past few weeks, Punk and Rollins have been trading personal shots. A few weeks ago, they had another huge brawl that saw them fighting throughout the arena. This back-and-forth between the two stars led Adam Pearce to announce their match for the WWE RAW Netflix debut edition.
While Punk prepares for his match against Rollins, he recently competed against Ludwig Kaiser at Madison Square Garden. Later, the former AEW star made another appearance by saving Damian Priest from an attack by Kaiser and Dominik Mysterio. Priest, saved from the brutal assault, sent a message thanking Punk for his timely intervention.
Damian Priest reflects on CM Punk saving him from a savage attack
Damian Priest, who faced Gunther in a steel cage match, saw the Ring General secure the victory. After the match, Kaiser and Dominik Mysterio attacked Priest, but CM Punk rushed to the rescue, emerging in a towel to save him. Punk’s surprising intervention quickly went viral on social media. Later, Priest expressed his gratitude to the former WWE Champion, referring to him as “my dawg.”
While CM Punk didn’t have any interaction with the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther, both are set to clash this Sunday at a live event in Chicago in a steel cage match. The outcome of this match will be exciting — will Punk claim the World Heavyweight Championship, or will the Ring General retain his title?
If Punk captures the championship, it will drastically change the scenario for his upcoming match against Seth Rollins, which is scheduled as the main event of WWE Raw’s debut episode on Netflix.
