KENTA Comments on CM Punk Winning the WWE Title: ‘I Hate This’

Wrestler and former WWE Superstar KENTA isn’t happy following CM Punk making his WWE television and in-ring return last night on Monday Night Raw. Punk made a surprise return in his hometown of Chicago, replacing Cody Rhodes against Sami Zayn for the WWE Title.

Punk defeated Zayn and is now the new WWE Undisputed Champion. KENTA reacted to the development on his X account. He wrote, “I hate seeing this.”

Punk served as a surprise replacement for Cody Rhodes last night. Earlier during Raw, General Manager Adam Pearce announced that Rhodes was not cleared to compete. As a result, Zayn faced the returning Punk, whom we had not seen since the post-WrestleMania 42 edition of WWE Raw.

Of course, both CM Punk and KENTA are known for using the Go 2 Sleep as their finishing moves.
