Edge and Christian Show

– CM Punk (or his name, anyway) was persona non grata on the latest episode of the Edge and Christian show. Monday’s episode of the comedy series featured a segment called “Will WWE Talk About It,” which…well, is pretty self-explanatory. The two sat in front of a screen, complete with laugh track, and asked whether certain topics would be talked about in WWE.

There was actually only one, namely Punk, who came up with a “CENSORED” over his name and any time Edge or Christian tried to say his name, they were bleeped out. They joked that there’s “No chance in hell that [Punk] will ever be talked about in WWE ever again.”

Christian ended the segment by “breaking the fourth wall” and sending a shout-out to Colt Cabana. The episode, “Kayfabe,” is currently in the Network’s VOD section under “Originals.”
