CM Punk Won’t Let Ethan Page Or Trick Williams Cheat On Next Tuesday’s NXT, ‘I’m Not Here To Play Favorites’
CM Punk will be looking for a fair fight.
On the September 24 edition of WWE NXT, CM Punk chatted with Trick Williams backstage ahead of his NXT Championship match with Ethan Page, which will take place on the October 1 edition of the show.
Punk quickly served up some knowledge to Williams, saying that he took the role of referee to ensure that Page won’t cheat in the match. Punk went on to say that he will be there to make sure that the best man will lead NXT into the future.
Punk finished off his statement by saying that there will be no favors given, as he’s not here to play favorites.
“I watched you start at the bottom, I watched you win the title, I watched you lose the title, but you’re still in the championship mix. I’m proud of you and you should be proud of yourself. Listen, I know he’s going to try to cheat, that’s why I’m the special guest referee. I’m not letting him cheat, I’m not letting you cheat — I’m not saying you’re gonna, that’s not your style, I know that. I’m in the ring to make sure the best man to lead NXT CW into the future wins the match. You know that can be you, you’ve done it before, I kind of hope it is you. But i’m not gonna lean that way. There will be no favors given. At the end of the night, if you’re not that guy, and it’s Ethan Page, I’m raising his hand. I’m not here to play favorites. May the best man win.”
