Fans have been waiting years for CM Punk to get back in the ring, and over the weekend the internet was buzzing after a mysterious masked man interfered in a match at a MKE Wrestling event in Wisconsin and hit Daryck St Holmes with the GTS.
MKE Founder Silas Young recently appeared on Busted Open Radio and discussed the run in.
Young said that he couldn’t confirm 100% that it was CM Punk under the mask, but from what he was told it was Punk, and he’s not sure why anyone would lie to him.
In regards to why CM Punk did the run in, Silas Young noted that Punk got his start in the building, and it’s going to be torn down soon.
“That’s the building where [Punk] kinda got his start at,” Young said. “Shortly before that match happened, my wife came up to me because she was one of the managers in the match. She was like, ‘I heard Punk’s going to do a run in. It made sense with the match being with Ace Steele and having Dave Prazak involved, those guys are longtime friends and they broke in the business [together]. Punk had maybe his first match in that building. That building has had wrestling for years, a lot of guys got their start there. Unfortunately it’s going to be torn down early next month so we were the last event there. I think it’s just one of those things where he wanted to pay a little respect or a little homage to it.”
