Before his massive world championship defense, Punk returned to NXT for a match. At a live event in Petersburg, he teamed up with North American Champion Myles Borne and Taivon Heights to take on The Vanity Project in a six-man tag team bout. The showdown marked The Best in the World’s first match in the developmental brand since 2012.

Punk’s last bout in NXT before tonight took place 14 years ago. On August 23, 2012, he squared off against Cesaro in a dark match. In Petersburg, The Best in the World paid homage to his wife, AJ Lee, during his entrance. The SmackDown Superstar’s team ultimately reigned supreme at the live event.

Kevin Owens referenced AEW during promo battle against CM Punk on WWE SmackDown

Before CM Punk returned to WWE in 2023, he was among AEW’s top stars for a while. During his time in the Tony Khan-led organization, The Second City Saint was reportedly involved in multiple backstage scuffles and disagreements. He ultimately departed All Elite Wrestling after his match against Samoa Joe at All In: London.

The Undisputed WWE Champion engaged in a promo battle with Kevin Owens on the latest episode of SmackDown. Both stars took personal jabs at each other during the exchange. The Prizefighter even brought up his rival’s tumultuous run in AEW.

“The only reason you came back here and made everything right was because you had no choice. The kind of person you are led you to screw things up everywhere else you went,” Owens said.

Punk has arguably had a dream run in the sports entertainment juggernaut since his unexpected comeback in 2023. He is a locker room leader and one of the biggest attractions in the promotion.
