CM Punk On Being Like A "Human Sexy Trophy," Big WWE Shop Sale, Ronda Rousey At WrestleMania Note
- As noted, CM Punk was making the media rounds this week. He spoke to The Canadian Press about possibly fighting Mickey Gall (1-0), and once again said that he hopes to make his Octagon debut at UFC 200 in July. He was also asked about Gall getting the opportunity to fight him after calling him out at a regional show, provided Gall wins his fight against fellow UFC newcomer Michael Jackson (0-0) on the UFC 196 prelims on February 6th.
"I'm an unknown and everybody kind of wants to cash in that Powerball ticket," Punk said. "I'm like a human sexy trophy that everybody wants to win. So yeah, I think it's a wise decision by him. He had Dana front row for it, so he had the right audience and it's gotten him this far. So bully for him."
As noted, UFC President Dana White stated last week on the Toucher & Rich that he was thinking about having Punk's debut at UFC 199 in June.

- As noted, Ronda Rousey won't be fighting at UFC 200 because her upcoming Roadhouse movie has been pushed back. Alfred Konuwa has a video up at Forbes at this link about a possible surprise appearance by Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania since her shooting schedule has been pushed back. He noted that the movie being pushed back provides a "slight glimmer of hope" that she can be a part of WrestleMania and listed some non-physical roles for Rousey at the big show. It's still highly unlikely since Rousey will actually be filming Mile 22 with Mark Wahlbreg in Indonesia during that time.
