The Best in the World CM Punk has been one of the biggest draws for wrestling. His return to WWE after nearly 10 years made him the hottest superstar of the current time. Before signing with the company, he was a commentator for the Cage Fury Fighting Championship, an MMA promotion. But it looks like he has not cut ties with them and signed with WWE in such a way that he still manages to do his job as a commentator.

Last night at the Hard Rock Live in Atlantic City, CFFC 128 was held with 10 fights on the match card. But the factor that wrestling fans could relate to was Punk’s appearance as a commentator alongside CFFC CEO, Robert Haydak, and John Morgan. The fact that the event aired live on UFC Fight Pass ties long distance with the WWE-UFC merger under Endeavor saw it being aired at the same time as SmackDown.

A clip shared on X even sees the 45-year-old plugging his official WWE merchandise for viewers to buy. The clever way of The Second City Saint saw wearing his under-production beanie having his logo. The hilarious moment saw his indirectly clear way to promote his merchandise on the WWE Shop.

This is nothing to do with me trying to show these beanies and hats that are currently under production and would be available on wwe.shop.com by the end of the month. It's a late little Christmas present!

The Straight Edge Superstar joined CFFC back in 2018 and worked as a commentator since CFFC 71. After his AEW debut, he was occasionally seen at the MMA event and had his last appearance on CFFC 114. But his AEW termination gave him chances to come back and continue his beloved work.

Braun Strowman is looking forward to meeting CM Punk after his return

The Monster Among Men Braun Strowman is part of the Raw roster. But his neck injury has put him away from WWE programming for quite a while now. Due to his inactivity, he has even missed out on meeting the newest member of Raw, CM Punk, for which, he is pumped to do the honors.

While speaking on The Ranveer Show 366, Strowman spoke about his past hearings about The Second City Saint. The fact that he is hard to be around has been the most repetitive statement, but Braun does not quite agree with it. He mentioned actually meeting the guy and seeing to it himself about his behavior.

I don’t know, I never personally met the guy. And I’m honestly looking forward to meet him. I’ll see when I get to meet him.

Braun Strowman about CM Punk

The Greatest Royal Rumble winner then mentioned Punk being canny on the microphone and being great at his craft. Braun even stated CM is well-oiled in the ring and will see how it goes around once he gets readily started. He hilariously mentioned that Punk can Get These Hands when they meet.
