Major Update on the Future of CM Punk in the WWE, Will He Get a Chicago Farewell in 2014?

January 22, 2014

WWE announced that WWE Payback will be held in Chicago, Illinois for the second consecutive year. The Allstate Arena will hold the event on June 1st, 2014. This was the event in which CM Punk returned after his brief break after WrestleMania 29. PWInsider.com is reporting that CM Punk’s latest contract is set to expire in July and that WWE plans on getting everything out of him, in case he decides not to renew his contract.

CM Punk has been very vocal over the years, talking about how he wants to walk away from the WWE on his terms and not be forced out due to injury. With the current storyline with Punk and The Authority, one could assume that this angle may continue into the summer, potentially something similar to “Summer of Punk 2011.” If CM Punk does not sign a new contract, WWE Payback could be the last Pay-Per-View for the former WWE Champion.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
