Major CM Punk hints dropped during WWE RAW

It looks like WWE is playing along with the CM Punk hype during the Monday Night RAW. As they continued to escalate the problem with some Crown Jewel packages and walkthroughs, the fans could not help but notice some of the wrestlers tossing in some CM Punk references as well. Seth Rollins stated "cry me a river" to Drew McIntyre, same as Jack Perry did to CM Punk at All In.

Shinsuke Nakamura invoked the words 'set me free' in his WWE RAW promo this week, which was translated from Japanese. Those are the words to CM Punk's theme song, 'Cult of Personality.' Rhea Ripley also added gas to the blaze when she stated that she had stuff 'to get off my chest.' That's how CM Punk began with his infamous pipe bomb promo. Some fans were ecstatic because they discovered yet another CM Punk reference, which they feel was put into the event as a tease.

While speaking to 670 The Score in Chicago, Punk mentioned, 'They're asking if I'm going to be there? I think it's sold out. I think tickets are hard to get.

'I don't want to burst anybody's bubble. I'm kind of just sitting at home and enjoying this beautiful Chicago weather. I have an injury in the family. My dog [Larry] blew his dog ACL. I'm literally just spending my time with him. I know that sounds crazy, but he is my son, and I take care of him and treat him as such. Everything has kind of stopped. I'm fortunate to take time off from everything. I've canceled things I have coming up. Traveling is hard. It's tough to leave him here with my wife April [AJ Lee]. If there are two of us here taking care of him, it's easier.'

CM Punk's response did not give a proper response and conveyed that he would rather spend time with his family. But his appearance is still subject to availability.
