The responses to the allegations were mixed to say the least

CM Punk is back in WWE, and already, there’s controversy in the air.

At Survivor Series, in a return that’s almost ten years in the making, Punk stood in a WWE arena, watching as the fans finally found their “CM Punk” chants answered by the man’s presence himself.

Following his controversial parting of ways with AEW earlier this year, there were rumors that he would return to the company he left in 2014 despite all their differences. Not only did he return, but he appeared to bring quite a lot of heat with him.

Seth Rollins was shouting at him, apparently enraged in what could be either real-life heat or an angle, and Drew McIntyre walked out angrily before he even returned.

Another former employee, Ryan Satin, who worked on the WWE Backstage show with Punk, has emerged with allegations against the star. His angry response to Punk’s return and calling him a hypocrite didn’t go down too well with fans who wanted to know why he was angry.

The former correspondent replied that CM Punk had threatened to punch him in the face and make his life a “living hell” for not being able to convince his bosses at a news operation to kill a story for him.

Fans have now given their opinion on Satin’s outburst and The Second City Saint’s return after the allegations, and they are mixed at best.

For most, the answer was simple. They felt that Satin’s problem was personal, and it didn’t matter – Punk was best for business.

However, others felt that it would only be a little time before fans began to see that Punk was causing issues backstage in WWE as well, with Triple H making an announcement to that effect before firing him.

Other fans also felt that the incident had not really happened. Some others claimed that even if it had, Satin himself was not innocent in the matter either. However, some were also saying they were upset that WWE had yielded and brought him back to the company.

There’s a real mixed response to CM Punk’s return to WWE

Meanwhile, there were some abrasive comments about Satin, with some calling him overly sensitive and disliking him.

Mostly, fans were split, with them recognizing that while he was too often the center of controversy, he was also good for business.

Ryan Satin and CM Punk worked together on WWE Backstage

Punk and Satin were not always on bad terms with each other. The two worked together on the WWE Backstage show, where they were both “frequent contributors,” while Renee Young and Booker T were the show’s main hosts.

The exact timeline of the issue in question is unclear at this time.

It was a massive ovation in Denver as Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock made a surprise return on WWE SmackDown. Yes, the people’s champ appeared in the ring after almost four years and it was literally a goosebumps moment for all fans. Apart from his exciting appearance, things have become officially clear about the veteran’s plans.

For those who don’t know, Dwayne made his last WWE appearance in October 2019. So, it’s almost 4 years since he returned. Before this shocking return, the pro-wrestler turned actor graced the 9/15 edition of The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN. There, he confirmed that his speculated match with Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania was on the cards but plans got cancelled eventually.

We’ve heard this for a long time The Rock is going to face his real-life cousin Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. Speaking on Pat McAfee Show, he confirmed his clash with the WWE champion was planned for Wrestlemania 39. However, it got cancelled due to a not-so-interesting storyline. He also said he is “open’ to fight Roman at Wrestlemania 40, which takes place next year.

Speaking about his much-awaited return to WWE, The Rock said, “Honestly brother, it’s not the injury that I’m concerned about because that’s just part of it. It’s just part of the game you sign up for. You get hurt, we all get hurt.

That’s just the way it is. It’s not even the schedule because I can control the schedule, to a large degree. Me going back to WWE and wrestling a match, it always comes down to the reason why and what can we create that’s never been done before for the fans. So, that’s the idea.”

Coming to his SmackDown appearance, the Brahma Bull had a verbal clash with Austin Theory, eventually making the latter taste the people’s elbow.

WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H announced the news of Wyatt aka ‘The Fiend’s’ unexpected death on August 24. He tweeted, “Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda – also known as Bray Wyatt – unexpectedly passed earlier today.

John Cena breaks silence on his feud with Dwayne The Rock Johnson and shares how he nearly destroyed a friendship. Read on!

John Cena Reacts To Public Feud With Dwayne Johnson For Leaving WWE (Picture Credit: IMDB)

John Cena and Dwayne Johnson are among the most prominent names who have made their career from the wrestling arena to Hollywood movies. While the actor never appeared in a Hollywood project, their rivalry from WWE days has been one of wrestling history’s most talked about rivalries. However, as they both are now in the Fast and Furious franchise, they have not shared the screen yet.

Talking about their previous rivalry, which started for WWE, turned out to be personal as they both exchanged indirect comments about each other. The Fast X actor addressed the public feud with Dwayne Johnson and how he nearly ruined his friendship.

Both of them engaged in a lengthy WWE rivalry in 2012 and 2013. The leader of the Cenation said that he and Johnson have largely remained good friends except for “one little patch” where he “really messed up.”

During a conversation on Happy Sad Confused, the WWE superstar-turned-actor shared his opinions on Dwayne The Rock Johnson while he was promoting Fast X.

“I got selfish and me living WWE at the point and not having any concept of growth or someone else’s perspective — I took Dwayne’s comments [about the business] as not genuine,” said John Cena.

He thought The Rock’s approach was “selfish and short-sighted” as he added, “My view was if you love something, be there every day.”

The Peacemaker actor noted how his comments came after The Rock largely abandoned the WWE for his acting career. “Like, what a hypocrite I am because I still love WWE and can’t go all the time.

And I just didn’t see that. I was so selfish.” The 16-time world champion felt he should have discussed his issues with the Black Adam star privately rather than dragging their drama into the audience’s eye.

As their feud is now at rest, the audience would love to see them together in the future installment of Fast and Furious movies. Let us know what do you think about John Cena and Dwayne Johnson crossing paths in the upcoming Fast movie

CM Punk sent a very clear message to everyone directly down the camera after WWE Raw return

WWE fans around the world were left in total shock after Saturday’s Survivor Series, with former Champion CM Punk returning to the company and closing out the show, nearly a decade on since his last appearance. Just 48 hours later, Punk made his first appearance on WWE Raw, speaking to fans about his desire to get back in the ring and get back to doing what he loves.

To close out Monday Night Raw, Punk cut a six-minute promo to the WWE Universe, which included some heartfelt messages to the fans who he said he loved and that he always heard when they were chanting his name. ‘The Best in the World’ confirmed he was ‘home’ and the fans in attendance were lapping it up.

After finishing the promo with the microphone, though, Punk wasn’t entirely done, as he then turned directly to the camera and sent a clear message to everyone watching. Despite not having a mic in his hand, his message could be heard loud and clear.

“I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to make money.”

Many have said this was a dig at Punk’s former gig in AEW, who fired him because of backstage altercations and the president of AEW Tony Khan feeling ‘physically threatened.’

CM Punk’s time away from WWE

Punk joined AEW in 2019 because of grievances with WWE in the way he was being treated. He liked what AEW were about; a company that followed through with storylines and was less entertainment-centric, focusing on the athletes themselves and their talent in the ring.

Punk embodied the values of AEW and was the company’s biggest revenue generator, bringing in significant pay-per-view figures, generating huge merchandise sales, and boosting TV ratings.

Returning to the WWE, Punk will take all that with him and more, hurting the AEW’s perception and momentum while greatly adding to the reputation of WWE as the pinnacle of wrestling.

This isn’t the first time that this has happened; before Punk’s departure, the AEW’s biggest star Cody Rhodes also returned to WWE in search of a more lucrative storyline and fans who were willing to pay for that level of sports entertainment.

The AEW allowed both Rhodes and Punk to build their name as top-level athletes and both have now taken that status back over to the WWE, using their name to land the biggest storylines that will generate the highest revenue.

With no official first match on the cards yet, some suspected that Punk also made this comment with the intention of riling up competitors and create a natural first opponent.

Notably, the return of Punk seemed to have angered WWE star Seth Rollins who, on Saturday night, stepped outside the ring approaching Punk in a heated video that has gone viral on social media. Referees and officials tried to hold Rollins back from doing anything before commentators Michael Cole and Corey Graves had to step in to support them.

It will be interesting to see Punk’s return play out. Who will he face, and will he land his dream storyline? Also, will he finally get to headline WrestleMania?

It’s little wonder she earns TEN TIMES more now than she did in MMA

PAIGE VANZANT has teamed up with former WWE star Mandy Rose to flash her underboob in a see-through top to send her fans wild.

The 29-year-old ex-UFC grappler recently revealed a gruesome foot injury after a freak accident before providing a taste of just how “spicy” her OnlyFans account is.

And she delighted her 3.2 million Instagram followers again with a raunchy collaboration alongside Mandy – who left WWE due to content released on her FanTime account, which is similar to OnlyFans, last year.

Paige firstly posted a photo of herself holding the handlebars of a bike wearing a tiny white top that only covered the upper half of her breasts – revealing plenty of underboob.

She captioned that sexy photo with “wanna ride” and it soon attracted nearly 30,000 likes.

However, it was the other busty pic of her and Mandy that followed which sent their admirers into overdrive.

Continuing the pink bike theme, the pair both had pink knee-high boots on and tight denim shorts, with the former wrestler wearing an equally revealing pink top that struggled to contain her chest.

Along with two love heart emojis, Paige captioned that photo with: “Two trouble makers. One wild ride.”

Nearly 36,000 likes followed along with a flood of comments.

“I bet you 2 ladies would be a lot of fun to get in trouble with,” wrote one fan.

Another called them “the greatest duo ever” as another said: “The Duo I never knew I needed.”

While another comment read: “Absolutely Stunning Ladies!”

Former UFC strawweight Paige shocked the combat sports world in 2020 by penning a multi-fight, multi-million-pound contract with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

The star has lost her first two fights – first against Britain Hart in 2021 and then against Rachael Ostovich months later – both by unanimous decision.

Despite that Paige, who has also competed for wrestling promotion AEW, now says that she earns ten times what she got during her UFC days.

She also stated that she makes more money on Instagram than she did fighting in the octagon – and it’s little wonder with content like this.

hea Ripley was only 20 when she signed her WWE contract in 2017.

Later that year, she took part in the inaugural Mae Young Classic, a tournament that featured 32 female wrestlers. While the young Aussie didn’t win, her future star power was already apparent.

Ripley is almost unrecognisable compared to how she looked at her WWE debut — fresh-faced with long, blonde hair — something she links to how she felt about things at the time.

“I moved to America when I was 20, I was very shy and very scared. And I just wanted to do a good job. I was scared of getting fired and I just wanted to, like, please everyone,” she tells The National.

“I had the long, blonde hair and I think I used that as a hiding mechanism sort of thing. When I got shy or I didn’t feel comfortable, I would hide behind my hair.”

She says that between the first Mae Young Classic and the second one in 2018, she went through a lot of things in her personal and professional life.

“I got picked on, I got bullied, I didn’t feel like I was worth anything. And I was just sick of everything. I was so homesick and I didn’t want to be in America anymore. I was just done with everything,” she says.

Even though she felt like giving up on her dream of being a professional wrestler, she decided to try and change her outlook.

“I sat down with myself one day and I was like, ‘toughen up, you’ve been through so much and you’ve come so far don’t throw it all away now. You can you can keep going. I know you can’. I just had to sort of believe in myself, in a way.”

One day, someone in the locker room suggested that shorter hair look would suit her and she decided to cut it. The haircut wasn’t only a physical change — it was also a much-needed boost of confidence.

“I’ve always been scared of cutting my hair but that’s a little bit of confidence that I need, so I just went and cut it,” she says. “I got new gear I didn’t tell anyone and I walked up the second Mae Young for the photos in my new stuff. And everyone’s like, ‘what is this?’ I’m like, ‘the new me, get used to it right now.’”

Her new look included more black, more studs and wearing darker make-up. It’s been a definite change from the basic ring gear she once wore. After NXT UK was created in October 2018, she would become the first NXT UK Women’s Champion — a role that proved she was more than enough.

Soon, the short, blonde hair would get darker and Ripley added more tattoos to her arms and legs, matching the darker tone of her new wrestling persona, “The Nightmare”.

She credited American heavy metal band Motionless in White for inspiring her, especially their song Untouchable.

“I love being creepy and being dark and I love Motionless in White. So I was like, ‘Nightmare is perfect’. I love supernatural stuff. That’s me as a human outside of work. That’s just stuff that I like. So why don’t I bring it into work as well?”

Ripley says this is a truer representation of herself, despite her former looks.

She also credits WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix as an inspiration. Watching Phoenix in the ring helped her realise that not every female wrestler needs to be slender and petite but that beauty has many shapes and sizes.

This is a message she also wants to spread to any other aspiring wrestlers. She wants them to know that while people may doubt them like they once did her, they can persevere.

“Don’t stop, because there’s going to be people that doubt you. There’s going to be people that say that you can’t do it and you’re never going make it. But they did that to me, too, and look at me now.

“So just stay determined and stay on track and do whatever you want. Whether that’s wrestling, whether that’s soccer, football, basketball, anything, any sport, even outside of sports, anything else you like, you can do it. Just stay determined.”

CM Punk, following his epic return promo, took a shot at two top AEW stars after WWE Raw went off the air

The world has been talking about CM Punk returning at Survivor Series 2023, and the ex-AEW star took to the main event of Raw last night to cut his first promo in a WWE ring since 2014.

Some fans were surprised that, at least by his standards, Punk’s return promo on Raw was quite tame. While delivered in the fantastic style we’ve come to expect from the former WWE Champion, his promo didn’t feature the shots at AEW that many people expected.

However, footage of Punk as Raw was just going off the air has shown that the 45-year-old did take a little jab at two of his former colleagues.

CM Punk returned to WWE at Survivor Series

CM Punk’s return to WWE has already become one of the greatest returns in WWE history, generating one of the loudest pops of all time. The ‘Best in the World’ had millions cheering for him on his incredible return, seemingly overshadowing the iconic comeback of Randy Orton in the men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series.

Punk made his comeback on this week’s Raw, addressing what had changed throughout his absence. During the segment, he also revealed that Paul Heyman once suggested that he had to leave the company and return in order to become a top-tier star in the industry, which he’s now done.

CM Punk also name-dropped AJ Lee, his real-life wife, revealing that she sent her regards to the WWE Universe. In an intense promo, Punk addressed how workers have been trying to become the best with their mic skills and in-ring talent while he was gone, but none have been able to match up to him.

By the end of his promo, Punk said that he wasn’t back to make friends in WWE, and was only back to make money. With the fans rallying after him, Punk then did a victory lap to wrap things up, as you can see from the footage below.

While a small gesture to some, others have taken Punk’s victory lap to be a clear shot at the Young Bucks, the new WWE Superstar’s former colleagues from his time in AEW. Right after Punk was fired by Tony Khan in September, the Young Bucks mocked him by doing a victory lap on AEW Collison, and nearly three months later, the former World Heavyweight Champion has responded.

CM Punk is set to feud with Seth Rollins

Punk’s promo on WWE Raw came and went without anyone interrupting him. Many fans expected another member of the WWE roster to interrupt Triple H’s newest signing, setting up his first major feud, but that wasn’t the direction that ‘The Game’ opted to go with.

Many people are happy that Punk is back in WWE, but someone who seemingly isn’t, as he mentioned during his aforementioned return promo, is Seth Rollins. The World Heavyweight Champion was captured reacting incredibly angrily at Survivor Series to Punk’s comeback, with the pair having legitimate heat with each other.

While they might not like each other, reports have stated that Rollins and Punk are set to work together as we head out of 2023 and into 2024 in what is expected to be the returning WWE star’s first rivalry back in the company.

If reports are to be believed, Rollins and Punk are set for a match at the Royal Rumble in January 2024 which is expected to be for Seth’s World Heavyweight Championship, unless he drops the title between now and then.
