If you got a World Championship by beating someone on the microphone, WWE should have handed CM Punk’s title over to Bron Breakker tonight.
Before their World Heavyweight Championship match next week on WWE RAW, Bron Breakker and CM Punk went face-to-face in the ring on the microphone. While Punk has been known in the past to devour his opponents on the microphone, we haven’t seen much of that side of him since his WWE return in 2023.
Punk’s lack of killer instinct came back to haunt him tonight as Breakker ate him alive on the microphone, leaving the Champion looking stupid as a result.
Punk’s response felt very typical of almost every promo he’s cut since returning to WWE. The fire he used to have just isn’t there, and rarely comes out when it needs to. While he cut a great promo on Breakker a few weeks ago, when they were face-to-face, it just didn’t work.
We know a promo isn’t going to win you a title. But there will be plenty of people hoping for a title change next week on RAW.
