Corey Graves Rejects Speculation of CM Punk Reference at WWE Fastlane

The wrestling world is all ears as whispers of CM Punk’s possible WWE return intensify following his exit from AEW. WWE’s subtle nods to the Second City Saint have only fueled the speculation, and the latest twist in this ongoing drama unfolded during the WWE Fastlane Premium Live Event, where Corey Graves seemed to drop yet another CM Punk reference.

During a recent Smackdown episode, Corey Graves quoted a well-known line associated with CM Punk’s Ring of Honor days. However, he later attempted to douse the flames of speculation by explaining it as a mere movie reference.

As the WWE Fastlane Premium Live Event reached its zenith, Corey Graves once again sent shockwaves through the wrestling community. This time, he uttered the intriguing phrase, “Life on the edge of a lightning bolt,” a direct echo of CM Punk’s words on his Instagram story, marking the 10th anniversary of his partnership with Paul Heyman.

With fans left hanging, pondering the implications of these references, Corey Graves took to Twitter to clarify his stance. He firmly asserted that his comments were a tribute to the legendary Dusty Rhodes, not a covert message to CM Punk. Graves didn’t hold back, directly addressing the speculators on Twitter and urging them to dig deeper for the truth.

“The mental gymnastics performed by “wrestling Twitter” are exhausting. Simone Biles level.

“Living life on the edge of a lightning bolt…”

I quoted DUSTY RHODES! Do a little homework, “experts.”

Amidst this whirlwind of rumors, it’s vital to remember that Ringside News exclusively reported the absence of any ongoing talks between WWE and CM Punk regarding a comeback. While the wrestling world eagerly awaits further twists and turns, the question of whether CM Punk is on the brink of a WWE return remains shrouded in uncertainty. Only time will unveil if this potentially seismic comeback becomes a reality.
