This past Monday on WWE RAW, CM Punk sent a message to Belal Muhammad after he won the UFC Welterweight Championship. Punk had trained with Belal previously and both hail from Chicago.
In the main event of UFC 304, Muhammad defeated Leon Edwards, dethroning him in the process. This was the rematch between Muhammad and Edwards. Their first fight took place in 2021 and ended in a No Contest.
During his promo on Monday Night RAW, Punk congratulated Muhammad for his triumphant title victory. On Instagram, the former WWE Champion reacted to a post by ESPN MMA and seemingly expressed his support for Palestine.
Check out a screengrab of Punk's Instagram comment:
Bully Ray believes Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk will take place at WrestleMania
Wrestling veteran Bully Ray believes Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk will eventually occur at a WrestleMania.
At the recently concluded SummerSlam Premium Live Event, Rollins was the special guest referee for Punk's highly anticipated match against Drew McIntyre. During the closing moments of the match, Punk hit Rollins with the Go To Sleep, eventually leading to McIntyre's victory.
Speaking on the Busted Open Podcast, Ray provided his take on the Rollins-Punk rivalry. He said:
"I thought it was excellent. Okay, if somebody would have bled, yeah, but I think there's legs to this. I think there's more to go on and I'm looking forward to it. Eventually, we're going to get to Seth and Punk, which will most likely be a WrestleMania match."
On RAW, Punk once again called out McIntyre before being confronted by Rollins. The segment led to Punk chasing McIntyre out of the arena while Bronson Reed attacked Rollins. The former NXT North American Champion hit Rollins with the Tsunami on multiple occasions.
The feud between Punk and McIntyre is expected to continue on the red brand. Meanwhile, Rollins could shift his focus on Reed for a while.
