Punk will be playing the role of Ricky Rabies, a wrestler who seems to be paired up with valet by the name of Vickie Rabies, played by Bonnie Somerville. The pair look to be kitted out in road-kill themed attire, with Punk also noting that there was in fact a possum on a drone above them... This is shaping up to be quite something.

Punk also commented on the photo by tweeting, "Say hello to your new favorite wrestling duo. #HeelsSTARZ"

During an exchange with a fan about how different the star looks without his signature tattoos all over his body, Punk revealed that it took 90 minutes to three hours to cover them. He also confessed that he has a time lapse video of this task that he's been waiting to post.

The former WWE Champion is set to appear in at least one episode of the show as a rival to one of the leading brothers, the heel Jack Spade or babyface Ace Spade, played by Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig, respectively.

Heels will see these aforementioned brothers battle within and outside of the ring to keep their Georgia-based wrestling promotion afloat. After beginning shooting in August 2020, the show is now officially wrapped and is rumoured to arrive in August of this year.
