Earlier than RAW goes on the air final Monday, a footage confirmed CM Punk kissing a fellow WWE Famous person which instantly went viral on social media.
This week’s episode of the WWE’s longest-running weekly episodic tv present began off with a ten-bell salute for the legendary Hulk Hogan, who shockingly handed away on July 24 as a result of cardiac arrest.
These in attendance had been Hogan’s son, Nick and spouse Tana Lea, who was visibly emotional through the tribute, long-time buddy and former WCW President Eric Bischoff and comic Gabriel Iglesias, amongst others.
In the meantime, CM Punk was surprisingly standing in entrance and middle, alongside Jey Uso and WWE govt Bruce Prichard, which stirred reactions on X (Twitter) contemplating his historical past of criticism in the direction of The Hulkster.
Nevertheless, earlier than RAW aired, The Second Metropolis Saint was seen having a great time with “Essential Occasion” Jey. After the latter arrived to his designated spot, Punk instantly braced and kissed him on his head in a video captured by a fan.

Final week on RAW, World Heavyweight Champion Gunther rendered CM Punk speechless, which he celebrated throughout this week’s episode. Gunther will defend his World Heavyweight Championship in opposition to CM Punk in night time one at SummerSlam on August 2 in New Jersey, which was quietly confirmed as the primary occasion.
The Second Metropolis Saint was fired up for a verbal revenge in opposition to The Ring Normal as he interrupted him on RAW. Punk proceeded to make clear to Gunther that he must be world champion once more and even paid homage to the 12 Stanley Cup trophies of the Detroit Pink Wings, as RAW emanated from Detroit, Michigan, this week, emphasizing his want to win the championship.
“I must be World Champion like I want air in my lungs. In case you examine your careers to mine, this is not apples to apples. There are ranges to this, child, & you are gonna discover that you just’re not on my degree.” – CM Punk
