CM Punk "Glad" To Be Facing "Typical WWE Wrestler" Ryback, Tuesday Super SmackDown

- As we reported last week, WWE will air Super Smackdown on SyFy on Tuesday, November 6th at 8 PM. WWE sent out the following press release today concerning the episode:

"Syfy and WWE (NYSE:WWE) today announced SuperSmackDown Live, will air Tuesday, November 6 at 8PM (ET/PT). The Syfy special will originate from the LG Arena in Birmingham, England. The Tuesday night special will feature WWE's biggest Superstars and Divas, including World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio, Daniel Bryan and Alicia Fox. The special will encore in Smackdown's regular time slot on Friday, November 9 at 8PM (ET/PT).

- As noted yesterday, Arda Ocal of the Score Television Network and the Baltimore Sun recently spoke with current WWE Champion CM Punk. During the interview, Punk was asked about his "Hell in a Cell" opponent Ryback and whether he's suprised to face him.

"I'm glad actually," Punk admitted. "I think you take a look at Ryback and he's your typical WWE wrestler. He's what Vince McMahon likes. But conversely, my choice was John Cena or Ryback; Cena's had shot after shot after shot. To me, the 'change' I talked about a year and a half ago was about new people stepping up and getting shots, so I'm excited. Its something new, its something different and I can sink my teeth into it."
