CM Punk Joins NXT Holiday Live Tour

WWE announced that CM Punk will appear on the NXT Holiday Live Tour. Punk is scheduled for the Detroit stop on November 14 and the Chicago stop on November 15. He previously competed at an NXT Live event in Virginia in August, where he teamed with Myles Borne and Tavion Heights to defeat The Vanity Project consisting of Brad Baylor, Jackson Drake and Ricky Smokes.

Punk has visited the WWE Performance Center in Orlando on multiple occasions, including for rehabilitation upon his return to WWE and to assist in developing younger talent. Grayson Waller stated that despite his past remarks toward Punk and questioning why Punk did not seek his approval for NXT appearances, he views Punk as helpful at the Performance Center.
