Former multi-time WWE World Champion CM Punk has teased surprises are in store for fans at WWE events in Chicago.
No other wrestling star is more connected to his hometown than CM Punk is to Chicago.
Having his pro wrestling return as well as his WWE return in the city, “The Second City Saint” has provided plenty of surprises to his hometown of Chicago.
Speaking to Busted Open Radio, CM Punk discussed the fan support while he was away and if he knew how much he meant to those fans. Teasing surprises for Chicago, he said:
“I realized it. It’s the reason why everybody in Chicago got free ice cream, as a thank you from me to the fans for waiting.”
“More surprises in store if you plan on attending any shows in Chicago in the near future ‘wink wink, nudge nudge.’ I think I’m greatly misunderstood. Always love the fans.”
“Very vocal about the bad ones though, and those are the stories people tend to harp on.”
“I spent, I don’t know how much money buying 20,000 ice cream bars for the fans in Chicago. It’s something I always try to do.”
“Dating back to when I was doing Wizard World Q&As, I’d bring donuts, pizza. I always want a fun, happy environment that I want my fans to enjoy being around,”
WWE will return to Chicago for the October 1 episode of NXT. Punk has been advertised for the event, which will serve as the premiere episode of the show on The CW Network.
