CM Punk is in the AWL!

I'll say that again incase you didn't read it the first time:

C . . . M . . . Punk is in the AWL!!

Yes, at the end of the AWL component of National Pro Wrestling Day the former WWE Champion made a surprise appearance on the stage at the Easton Funplex. He then pointed at Shin Tora, who had just successfully defended his title against American Beetle, and made the universal "I want belt" gesture across his stomach.

While we've heard nothing from CM Punk in the days since, the AWL Commissioner has been VERY forthcoming on what's going on. While Mr. Punk's intentions and motivations for coming to the AWL remain unclear, it turns out that CM Punk has signed a short term, per appearance deal with the Animated Wrestling League! Nothing long term yet, but the AWL Commissioner has authorized me to tell you that CM Punk will be the traditional 16th man in the 2014 お正月大会!!

So at AWL 81, you will get to see CM Punk in action in an AWL ring for the very first time!

In tomorrow's news post, the full list of participants and 1st round matches will be announced. Stay tuned!
