CM Punk has sent his first message after a massive WWE announcement concerning him. This comes 24 hours ahead of his Steel Cage Match against Seth Rollins on Monday Night RAW. The Second City Saint has been announced as a special judge on next week's episode of WWE LFG. Shawn Michaels relayed the news to the prospects on the latest edition of the show before Punk appeared on the big screen. He just had one thing to say.

In the teaser for next week's episode, Punk is seen telling one of the prospects to cut a promo. He is set to join the panel of WWE legends, which includes The Undertaker, Booker T, Mickie James, and Bubba Ray Dudley. It will be interesting to see how The Voice of Voiceless fits into LFG.

The Cenation Leader earned his championship shot after overcoming five other top superstars in the Men's Elimination Chamber match. Later that same night, the 47-year-old surprisingly turned heel for the first time in over two decades and attacked his WrestleMania opponent, aligning himself with The Rock.

In a recent episode of her Eyes Up Here podcast, Francine discussed the possibility of Cena coming out on top in the championship match at The Show of Shows. The former WWE star claimed The Franchise Player's potential victory could not be a clean one.

WWE officials have been open about how they want to continue to expand in one of their biggest markets in the world: India. Triple H has made it a point to scout Indian talents, and the company has tried to host more live events after first touring the world's most populous democracy in 1996. WWE launched a partnership with India's Sony Pictures Networks in 2002, and this remains a key alliance. WWE's Chief Content Officer has just reiterated how the world's largest wrestling company is teaming up with Netflix for expansion in India. 

After the potential landscape-changing announcement was made, that WWE would begin airing via Netflix India on Tuesday, April 1, Triple H took to X (fka Twitter) with a special message and vignette.
