15. Booker Dunks On Punk

CM Punk's name was always going to be chanted by his hometown fans last night, but few could have anticipated Booker T's fiery outburst against the former 'Voice Of The Voiceless.'

Speaking as part of the Kickoff Show panel, Booker shot on Chick Magnet Phil's latest mixed martial arts loss, stating:-

"We saw CM Punk try to run into the UFC and try to take it over, and that boy got the bricks break off him a few weeks ago!"

An unnecessary dig at a man who is likely still wallowing in the misery of his lopsided decision defeat to Mike Jackson, and a bold (or stupid?) move for Booker to pull in Punk's hometown. It was almost certainly scripted for him, though. Less than a fortnight removed from Dr. Chris Amann's humiliating courtroom defeat, the company likely saw a chance to dunk on a downed man, and took it without question, strengthening the idea that we'll never see Punk in WWE again.
