Unseen CM Punk WWE Tryout Match Released

WWE

WWE star CM Punk reveals the real-life story behind one of his most asked-about untelevised matches, a tryout against the Road Warriors.

In a new clip released by the official WWE Vault channel, CM Punk’s original tryout in WWE is unearthed as he faced off against the Road Warriors.

Punk noted that he had previously worked a WWE dark match match, during which he did a “Grapevine Hammerlock DDT” that was promptly deemed too dangerous.

He even heard rumor that he was poised to be banned as well, but he was already booked for another show.

Still booked for the next show CM Punk recalled that after numerous others were failing to impress, Sgt Slaughter asked him to step in.

In the tag team match, CM Punk teams with ‘Doug Delicious’ to take on the Road Warriors.

You can check out the entire match below as well as more comments from CM Punk about his recollection of the events.

CM Punk is poised to kick off tonight’s episode of WWE Raw, receiving ‘referee instructions’ for his match at SummerSlam 2024 with Drew McIntyre from the special guest referee, Seth Rollins.
