The WWE Universe is highly anticipating tonight's edition of WWE NXT as CM Punk is set to make his sensational return to the developmental brand. The last time Punk appeared on NXT television was at NXT Deadline 2023, where he was involved in a segment with Shawn Michaels.

However, on tonight's episode, CM Punk will once again make his presence felt in NXT.

#3. Drew McIntyre could destroy CM Punk backstage

One way the Scottish Warrior could ruin CM Punk’s night on NXT is by launching a surprise backstage attack. Given that Punk might not be expecting such an ambush, McIntyre could easily catch him off guard and deliver a brutal assault. This would give Drew the perfect opportunity to assert his dominance and send a clear message.

Additionally, as Punk recently issued a warning to McIntyre on RAW, this attack could serve as Drew's response, showcasing what he’s capable of ahead of their Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood.

#2. He could blindside Punk during his segment

The Voice of the Voiceless is expected to have a segment during his return to NXT tonight. Given this, it's highly likely that during CM Punk's in-ring segment, Drew McIntyre could blindside him with a vicious attack. A moment like this would generate significant buzz for tonight's WWE NXT episode across social media and increase anticipation for their Hell in a Cell showdown at Bad Blood.

This angle not only boosts fan excitement but also serves as a powerful way for WWE to intensify the rivalry between Punk and McIntyre.

#1. McIntyre could visit CM Punk's home during tonight's WWE NXT

The feud between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk has already turned personal, with McIntyre often taunting Punk by wearing a bracelet that has AJ Lee and Larry’s names on it. Another way the Scottish Warrior could ruin CM Punk’s night on WWE NXT is by visiting Punk’s home while he’s at the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida.

This psychological tactic would put Punk in a vulnerable position, knowing he can’t be in two places at once.

WWE could air this segment via satellite, showing McIntyre at Punk’s home while Punk is live on NXT, adding an extra layer of tension and mind games to their rivalry.
