WWE announced Thursday evening via Twitter that CM Punk will speak this Monday on Raw.

Their announcement reads: "BREAKING NEWS: "BREAKING NEWS: This Monday on #Raw, @CMPunk will make his first official statement since his shocking return to WWE."

It was advertised during WWE Superstars that Triple H will have to resolve "one unprecedented controversy" with Punk and John Cena holding two versions of the WWE Championship.

I wish they just brought in Krimson to do it.

WWE reportedly offered CM Punk a five-year deal at one point. No word yet if what he ended up signing was for that long.

Regarding Punk and Vince McMahon, it's said that Punk now has Vince's ear when it comes to ideas. It was described as similar to Shawn Michaels years ago when he began moving up in the company and Vince would bounce ideas off Shawn, or Shawn would suggest ideas to Vince.

Very smart move by Vince if this is indeed true. Punk definately knows his stuff when it comes to his craft. He's a real pro at the business, in all ways, and should be listened to.

Was going to post this on Thurs when Pwinsider reported the same thing, with the same comparison. Sounds like a nice ol ripoff site, but decided against it since all that would happen is i'd be ripped on for saying HBK, even though all good must be credited to him.

It's entertaining, and it's the most interested I have been in the Sting character ever.

Wish I wasn't at work so that I could see it.

Oh well. Starting next week I start having Mondays off so I'm going to get back to watching again.

That was a nice opening exchange between HHH and Punk.

Wonder how many people think that was real?

Well I love watching HHH...I wish he was wrestling but will take what he is doing now. Punk is THE GUY to watch nowadays so it's all good. Cena is too lame for words.

Well as a long time Sting fan thru all his various gimmicks this is by far a low point for him...it's embarrassingly bad even for pro wrestling (and that is saying alot). I can't watch that crap. Let me know when the real Sting is back.

The Worked Shoot Era


Also known as.. the death of professional wrestling.

Good Lord, this is garbage. At this point, I DVR Raw, tune in for the 30 seconds that Triple H makes his entrance, than delete the program. Its truly an awful product aimed at children and families. Gag me.

TNA is the only program i can watch right now, and even that has more than its fair share of "eye roll" skits.

Terrible time to be a wrestling fan.
