Chicago, Illinois – The WWE made good on its promise of CM Punk’s return to Friday Night SmackDown in Chicago at the Allstate Arena. With an electrifying entrance, CM Punk received a roaring ovation as he made his way into the ring, clearly ready to share some important news with the fans.
However, instead of big news about his return to wrestling, CM Punk took the opportunity to call out Drew McIntyre for leaving the company. He expressed his intention to defeat McIntyre and showed how easy it was for him to do so in the ring.
The appearance of Paul Heyman added an interesting twist to the segment, as he delivered a message on behalf of Solo Sikoa, challenging CM Punk to leave Chicago to make room for Sikoa as the new Head of the Table. Tensions escalated as The Bloodline entered the scene, threatening Punk, leading to WWE Champion Cody Rhodes stepping in to challenge Sikoa to a match.
Despite the intense confrontations and challenges thrown his way, CM Punk did not make any announcements about his wrestling clearance, leaving fans eagerly anticipating more news on his in-ring future.
