CM Punk was not backstage at Saturday night’s WWE Backlash: St. Louis pay-per-view event. Instead, he appeared on Saturday night’s UFC 315 broadcast, cutting a promo in support of UFC Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad.
WWE has officially announced that Jey Uso will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Logan Paul at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24th.
The rivalry began shortly after WrestleMania 41, when Logan Paul confronted Jey Uso and has since made a statement by knocking out the champion with his signature right-hand punch on back-to-back episodes of WWE RAW.
