[WATCH] What happened with CM Punk when WWE RAW went off-air after his first promo in nine years

A fan captured some footage of CM Punk after tonight's edition of RAW went off the air.

Punk cut a promo during the final moments of WWE RAW. He received a massive pop and was looking incredibly excited to be back on the red brand after almost 10 years.

CM Punk gave an update on AJ Lee, thanked the fans, and made it clear that he's back for money, not to make friends. After the show went off the air, Punk interacted with the WWE Universe and signed a bunch of autographs.

Punk is as over as he was about a decade ago during his previous WWE run. He made his big return at Survivor Series: WarGames and received a massive ovation from the fans in Chicago. Seth Rollins didn't seem too thrilled with Punk's return, though, and threw a tantrum right beside the ring.

During tonight's promo on WWE RAW, Punk seemingly addressed Rollins by stating that people are afraid of him setting the bar high. It is likely that The Second City Saint and Rollins will engage in a dream feud somewhere down the line.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
