Exciting News For WWE Star CM Punk Ahead Of SmackDown; This Is Fascinating!

CM Punk will be on SmackDown tomorrow.

Before SmackDown goes on the air tomorrow, a momentous event will take place, which will include WWE Superstar CM Punk.

This week’s episode will be in The Second City Saint’s hometown of Chicago, Illinois, and he will make a rare SmackDown appearance there. This is still part of the heavy rumors of the potential return of AJ Lee, possibly tomorrow, after Punk asked Pearce where Friday nights will be, to which the general manager said, “Chicago.”

Punk will be a part of a star-studded edition of SmackDown as John Cena will also mark his final appearance in the Windy City. There are also rumors that “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar will be on the show as well.

Before the show, however, The Second City Saint will be at the Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame three-day celebration in Major League Baseball (MLB). The Cubs will battle the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field as they will honor Cubs Hall of Fame Class 2025 Members Derrek Lee and Sammy Sosa.

The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by CM Punk, who is a lifelong Cubs fan.

Check out the tweet below:

The former WWE Champion is a fixture when it comes to the Cubs’ special events. At one point, he even sang the “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” on May 17, 2014, matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers through the 7th-inning stretch.

Natalya Wants To See AJ Lee Kick Becky Lynch’s A** After Slapping CM Punk

Current Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch not only mocked CM Punk, but she slapped her repeatedly and made him go backstage. The Second City Saint controlled himself there, and the tease of AJ Lee’s return only heated up from there.

Now, with the rumor that The Black Widow might show up tomorrow in Chicago, WWE Superstar Natalya thinks it will be an emotional moment, especially when AJ is about to stand up for his husband, who’s been consistently getting upended by Lynch and Seth Rollins.

On Busted Open Radio, the BOAT also thinks AJ is ready to go, and she wants to see her kick The Man’s backside.

It can be remembered that Natalya faced Lynch in a losing effort for the women’s IC title, so her desire to see the latter destroyed is pretty much valid.
