I am a WWE editor at EssentiallySports. I cultivated my passion for pro wrestling when The Undertaker rose from the dead to take out the dastardly Randy Orton in order to ensure his WrestleMania streak remained intact. Since then; I have undertook a journey to delve into the amazing world of pro wrestling where the sublime meets the ridiculous.

At ES, I have been part of Monday Night RAW coverage which is my favorite day of the week. I was there when The Undertaker returned after his retirement on RAW 30 and have seen the rise and rise of The Judgment Day, while still awaiting Cody Rhodes to finish his story. I work in tandem with my peers to carve out unique content that strikes a chord with the wrestling faithful. Away from my work desk, I like to binge Netflix shows and catch my favorite sports moments on YouTube. You can reach out to me on X at @AmalJoyce5.

Fans who tuned into this episode of Monday Night RAW were waiting patiently to know which brand CM Punk would choose. This has been something that fans have waited for since he made his return to the WWE after nine years at WWE Survivor Series. The wait was finally over as Punk gave his answer. This was something fans have been waiting for since his momentum return at the WWE Survivor Series. CM PUNK SIGNS ON TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW Punk came out to the ring to a waiting Adam Pearce, who had the Monday Night RAW contract in his hand. Punk spent the last week heading to SmackDown and NXT to see what they had to offer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-cm-punk-subtly-hints-at-joining-smackdown-by-posting-heartwarming-photo-with-top-wwe-star/]. Despite claiming both other brands had substantial offers for him, Punk had an answer. To the massive delight of the fans, Punk took the contract and signed it to a massive pop. Following this, Punk said, “I’m Home!” Punk is now part of the main Monday Night roster. However, this celebration [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-shawn-michaels-acknowledges-cm-punks-attire-with-bret-harts-logo-despite-longstanding-real-life-rivalry-nxt/] did not last long, with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion coming out.

He formed the “Second City Saints” tag team with Colt Cabana and won the World Tag Team Championship. He went on to win more hearts after going after the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. PUNK READY TO REKINDLE AN OLD FEUD CM Punk’s return to WWE in 2021 got fans really excited. People had been hoping for a big match, and it seemed possible. Just having Punk back in the wrestling ring brought back the idea of a rivalry that many didn’t think would happen. Seth Rollins was one of the main people who wanted this clash to go down. He openly said that Punk was a legend and a tough opponent. Rollins shouted out that he wanted to wrestle Punk. This made things more interesting and hinted at a possible awesome fight between these two experienced wrestlers. However, Rollins’ opinion on Punk has changed with his second return to the company. What do you think about Punk signing on to RAW rather than NXT or SmackDown?

The wait is finally over as CM Punk finally signs on to Monday Night RAW as the brand he will represent moving forward.

My passion for professional wrestling began when I saw Kane ripping the Hell in
a Cell door off in the iconic 1997 match. I used to enjoy watching WWE re-runs
at 5 in the evening when I got home from school. It was sort of a ritual for me.
I loved watching Jeff Hardy jump off any tall structure and that was an
adrenaline rush despite having crippling altophobia. For me pro wrestling has
been an escape and still is. Now, I write about wrestling to share the
excitement I felt as a kid with others. I have also been a part of the FanCast
at ES, which was a great opportunity. Going from a freelance content writer to
someone who gets to cover live events and interviews at ES was a major upgrade
in my professional life. Apart from WWE, I love watching movies and picking out
the flaws in storytelling or the plot. You can drop a message to me at LinkedIn:

However, after all this, he had a tragic fallout with WWE over the alleged mishandling of his health and inappropriate booking. This saw Punk leaving professional wrestling for good and joining the UFC as a mixed martial artist.
