CM Punk Shows Jacked Physique in New UFC Rivals Teaser During WWE Absence

CM Punk appears in new UFC Rivals promotional footage while he has been off WWE television for roughly two months, giving fans another look at his noticeably more muscular upper body.

The teaser follows a gym video from last month that drew heavy attention online for how jacked Punk looked. Ryan Nemeth seemingly accused Punk of using steroids after that clip spread, which brought CM's former WWE rival Ryback out to publicly defend him.

Punk's clothed upper body is visible for only a few seconds in the promo, but online discussion has again focused on his physique and how much it may have changed since the gym clip. No filming date has been attached to the UFC Rivals footage.

Recent reporting suggests Punk could be back in WWE very soon, with a twist, as the company builds a mega card for SummerSlam in August.

Kayla Braxton said it is going to get worse if WWE does not address accessibility to talent.

Ryback defended Roman Reigns after Reigns received backlash for attending a UFC event at the White House.

There are rumors concerning Jack Perry's current situation and Drew McIntyre's status.

The NXT women's division has been performing well heading towards the Great American Bash.
