CM Punk’s 9/24 WWE NXT Segment Was Filmed in Advance

CM Punk’s return to WWE at last year’s Survivor Series has been celebrated as one of the company’s best moves in recent history, and it’s easy to see why. He has been a constant presence on NXT television lately but it appears he wasn’t actually physically present for this past week’s episode of NXT at all.

On the September 24 episode, CM Punk was backstage talking to Je’Von Evans when Trick Williams came up to him. Williams is going to fight Ethan Page for the NXT Championship on October 1, during the CW premiere.

Punk, who will be the special guest referee for the match, told Williams that he plans to be fair. He also said that even if Ethan Page tries to cheat, he won’t let anyone, including Trick, get away with breaking the rules.

According to Fightful Select, CM Punk was not present at this week’s episode of NXT and that his segments were filmed the previous week.

Since his return to WWE, CM Punk’s run has been impressive, filled with high-profile appearances and fan engagement. With Punk set to be the special guest referee for next month’s NXT Title match, fans are eager to see how he might influence the outcome.
