In an interview with Fightful, Silas Young spoke about how they were able to pull off CM Punk’s surprise appearance at an independent event last year, where Punk wore a mask and hit the GTS on Daryck St. Holmes during a match with Ace Steel. Punk never confirmed that it was him, but it appears to be a badly-kept secret at best.

Young said: “The building that happened in has had wrestling in it for 26 or 27 years and had got bought out. It was getting torn down. That was the building I think Punk had his first wrestling match. I had Dave Prazak and Ace Steel booked on the show who are good friends with Punk. My wife came up and said ‘Punk’s going to do a run-in-on the match, do you mind?’ I said ‘of course I don’t mind.’ This is ten minutes before the show, not something I booked. That’s how it happened. I think it’s because his buddies were booked on the show. Just a kind of circumstance and luck based on who I had booked that it worked out the way it did. I never saw Punk at the building. Can I 100 percent confirm it was him? No. I can say I’m 99.9% certain it was him. It’s a cool thing for the area and the promotion.
