Could CM Punk make an appearance at tonight's WWE NXT Deadline event? It's possible according to the Best in the World.
WWE NXT Deadline will take place at the Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, CT, and will be NXT's final major event of the year. This will be the second-annual NXT Deadline event and like last year's show, will feature the Iron Survivor Challenge.
CM Punk at WWE NXT Deadline?
WWE NXT Deadline is set to feature some of the very top talent from the gold brand, and could also feature CM Punk. On Instagram, Punk said that a missed flight meant he's currently in Bridgeport and asked if fans have any idea what he should do. To hammer the point home, WWE's free agent posed in front of a giant Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Punk's last appearance at an NXT event came following an episode of the gold brand in August 2012. In a dark match, Punk (the WWE Champion at the time) teamed with then-NXT Champion Seth Rollins to defeat Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno, who teamed for years prior to WWE as the Kings of Wrestling. You can check out Punk's most recent NXT appearance below.
