On the latest episode of WWE RAW, fans were treated to a surprise when Shinsuke Nakamura delivered a promo that left everyone buzzing on Twitter.
Fans couldn't help but notice the subtle reference to CM Punk's iconic theme song, "Cult of Personality." On RAW this week, Nakamura cut a promo directed at Ricochet. He raised the stakes by expressing his desire to be set free by a worthy opponent. He intriguingly asked, "Who is worthy enough to set me free?"
Fans who are well-versed in the world of wrestling quickly recognized the reference to CM Punk's iconic theme lyrics, which go, "You won't have to follow me, only you can set me free." This reference ignited a frenzy of speculation amongst the fans on Twitter.
The reference by the former Intercontinental Champion has erupted with excitement among the fans on Twitter as they immediately started speculating about a potential CM Punk return to WWE.

Seth Rollins doesn't want to see CM Punk in WWE
Fans know that Seth Rollins and CM Punk don't see eye to eye. Rollins rejected the idea of The Second City Saint returning to the Stamford-based promotion.
During an interview earlier this year, The Visionary shared his thoughts on a potential CM Punk comeback and referred to Punk as a 'cancer.'
"Stay away. Stay away, you cancer. Get away from me forever [...] I don't like Phil [Punk]. He is a j*rk. Oh did we just figure that out, did we just figure that out? Everybody in the room is like, 'Oh no, dude! Did he just say that?' Yeah, no, he is a j*rk, come on. We figured it out over there, we knew it over here. I don't want him back. Go do something else. Bye bye, Bye bye. See you later," Rollins said.
While Rollins doesn't want Punk back in the Stamford-based promotion, it looks like WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry wants to see a match between The Visionary and The Second City Saint.
