NXT Champion Ethan Page mocks CM Punk’s autograph controversy ahead of high-stakes match

CM Punk, since his return to WWE, has become a target for teasing from fellow wrestlers. The latest to join in is NXT Champion Ethan Page, who posted a photo on social media of himself signing an autograph for NBA player Tyrese Haliburton. Page’s post mocked a recent incident where Punk complained about a fan requesting an autograph despite being told no. Page used similar language to Punk’s, asking fans to “respect the talent’s privacy.”

This comes at a time when Punk is set to be the special guest referee for Page’s upcoming title defense against Trick Williams on NXT’s debut episode on The CW. The event will take place in Punk’s hometown of Chicago, adding extra tension to the situation. Page’s attempt to troll Punk may affect their relationship as they prepare to work together in this high-profile match.
