Punk confronted Logan Paul during this week’s broadcast while promoting the upcoming Elimination Chamber premium live event in Toronto. The verbal exchange escalated when Paul accused Punk of jealousy, prompting the veteran to declare himself “Satan” and claim Paul couldn’t match him.
During the latest episode of the Legion of RAW podcast, Russo highlighted this specific moment in Punk’s promo. The former writer suggested the “Satan” reference might be deliberately hinting at a possible heel turn where Punk, rather than Cody Rhodes, sells his soul to The Rock.
When he says ‘I’m Satan!’ Everybody says, ‘Oh, is that CM Punk dropping a hint? Is he gonna join The Rock and be evil?’ Who gives a cr*p? So Seth turns or CM Punk turns, then what?
Russo dismissed the significance of such a potential turn, questioning its impact on the larger storyline regardless of which competitor might align with The Final Boss.
Punk made his championship ambitions clear during the RAW segment, stating his intention to win the Men’s Elimination Chamber match and challenge Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.
This developing situation connects to The Rock’s recent offer to Rhodes, where he proposed that the champion become his “corporate champion” and gave him until Elimination Chamber to provide an answer.
