A 54-year-old WWE legend isn’t too excited about CM Punk’s World Heavyweight Title win.
The Second City Saint claimed his second World Title since his return to WWE after defeating Jey Uso at Saturday Night’s Main Event last weekend. This led to an emotional moment for Punk and his fans, especially after his Title win at SummerSlam was cut short by Seth Rollins’ surprise Money in the Bank cash-in.
However, speaking on the *Busted Open Podcast*, the tag team legend shared his thoughts on the victory. While he acknowledged there was nothing negative about the win, he explained that it didn’t feel like a big moment.
“Listen, everything went fine. Everything was good; everything worked out. No problems. They put the championship on Punk. There’s no negative to what they did. But it just didn’t feel like a big deal. Yes, the fans were happy; yes, the place popped. But it just didn’t feel like a win that really, really mattered. It felt like a win because they had to do something based on what happened to Seth. And I think subconsciously that’s in the back of everybody’s minds,” he said.
The legend also mentioned that the babyface vs. babyface dynamic of the match didn’t help the situation.
“It felt like this moment was to come down to him and Seth Rollins again. We never expected the injury, and then this to come down to Jey vs. Punk, two babyfaces. Two guys that kinda like each other. So there wasn’t that. I mean, it was a good wrestling match,” he added.
In his opinion, Jey Uso acting heelish would have created a bigger challenge for CM Punk, making his Championship win feel more special.
### CM Punk Got Ambushed by Logan Paul on RAW
CM Punk started off RAW by expressing that he was looking forward to challenges from stars in the locker room. This led to Logan Paul making his way to the ring to confront Punk.
Later in the night, Punk teamed up with Jey Uso to take on The Vision in a match that ended in a double countout as several stars got involved in a brawl outside the ring. The Bronsons initially gained the upper hand, but Punk fought them off with a steel chair.
However, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker returned to the ring, and Logan Paul made a surprise appearance, seemingly siding with the new World Champion. The situation took a turn when The Maverick knocked out CM Punk with brass knuckles, confirming his alliance with the Paul Heyman-led faction.
