CM Punk To Headline Starrcast III
Pipebomb!
With WWE having previously pulled contracted talent from Conrad Thompson’s Starrcast events, Thompson and his team have now dropped their own proverbial pipebomb.
Ahead of Starrcast III taking place this Labor Day weekend, Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasco broke the news that the headline act for the convention will be none other than CM Punk. In addition to partaking in some signing sessions, there will also be a one-on-one interview with the Straight-Edge Superstar.
The Starrcast crew and Punk himself have taken to Twitter to confirm his appearance at the event.
Given the fact that Starrcast III is taking place in Chicago, many fans had hoped that the wrestling gods would answer their prayers of seeing Punk make an appearance. And shockingly, that is indeed going to happen.
Bar a literal handful of appearances, Chicago native Punk has largely kept away from conventions – particularly ones geared solely towards wrestling.
Of course, with Punk now confirmed for Starrcast III, it’s time to let the speculation run wild about the multiple-time WWE Champion turning up at AEW’s All Out PPV that’s being held at the nearby Sears Centre Arena on Saturday, August 31st.
Starrcast III runs from August 29th to September 1st, and tickets can be purchased here.
