CM Punk, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, made headlines in the latest CM Punk WWE news by addressing Naomi before the newest episode of WWE RAW. The champion, known as the Second City Saint, brought attention to Naomi, who is currently away from WWE while expecting a child with Jimmy Uso.
Recently, the Usos have reunited and secured the World Tag Team Championships. In a post to his Instagram story, Punk uploaded a video of himself preparing to eat Banoffee Pie and tagged Naomi, sparking curiosity among fans. Naomi stepped away from the Women’s World Championship last year due to her pregnancy, leaving the title vacant. Stephanie Vaquer currently holds the Women’s World Champion title and was attacked by Raquel Rodriguez from The Judgment Day on the most recent RAW broadcast. That same night, Punk successfully defended his championship against Bron Breakker, reinforcing his standing atop the red brand.
CM Punk Discusses Disney Movie Role
Aside from wrestling, CM Punk has grabbed attention with his reaction to being chosen for a role in Disney’s Zootopia 2. During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Punk spoke to Dave LaGreca about his feelings upon getting the offer. The WWE and former AEW World Champion expressed surprise and humor about the unexpected opportunity.
“When I got the call for Zootopia 2, I was like, ‘Huh? What? Disney specifically wants me? Okay?’ There’s a bit of impostor syndrome because I want to be like, ‘Oh, am I like what? Who are the first 13 people who said no to this?’ But no, it’s just like sometimes you just got to realize like, ‘No, you’re good at what you do and people want to work with you,'” Punk said.
Punk’s remarks shed light on his candid self-reflection and the sometimes surreal nature of being recognized outside the wrestling world.
