CM Punk made a surprise appearance on the final episode of WWE NXT on the USA Network, ahead of NXTs highly anticipated move to the CW Network.
On the September 24 episode, Punk was backstage chatting with JeVon Evans when he was approached by Trick Williams, who will be challenging Ethan Page for the NXT Championship on October 1, the premiere episode on CW.
Punk, who will serve as the special guest referee for the championship match, made it clear that he intends to call the match right down the middle. He told Williams that while he knows Ethan Page might try to cheat, hes not letting anyone including Trick get away with anything.
Punks presence as the referee adds a significant twist to this championship clash, and with no favoritism being shown, the match is shaping up to be a clean and fair showdown as NXT kicks off its new era on CW.
