CM Punk to Referee NXT Championship Match in Chicago, Sparking Controversy and Speculation
CM Punk made an unexpected appearance on WWE NXT, announcing he will be the special guest referee for the NXT Championship match between Ethan Page and Trick Williams on October 1. This event will take place in Punk’s hometown of Chicago and will air on The CW. Page responded to the news on social media, challenging Punk’s ability to officiate fairly.
The timing of Punk’s NXT appearance is noteworthy, as it comes just four days before his Hell in a Cell match against Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood. This has led to speculation that McIntyre might make a surprise appearance on NXT, potentially interfering with Punk’s refereeing duties. Meanwhile, Page and Williams have a history of competition, with Page winning the NXT Championship in a Fatal-Four-Way match at Heatwave after previously losing to Williams at Battleground. Since claiming the title, Page has successfully defended it three times.
This man better pray he’s the Best Ref in the World too https://t.co/uoyFrLZaFn
