Surprise Appearance by WWE Superstar Backstage at NXT

Tonight’s WWE NXT episode is shaping up to be a massive show with Deadline’s fallout and the first build for New Year’s Evil. CM Punk made a surprise appearance at NXT Deadline this past Saturday, interrupting the show-opening promo by Shawn Michaels. Now it looks like Punk may be headed back to NXT as he is currently backstage at the WWE Performance Center for tonight’s show, according to Fightful Select. The 45-year-old future WWE Superstar appeared on last night’s RAW to sign an exclusive contract with the red brand while also building to the planned match against Seth Rollins. Several spoiler notes for tonight’s NXT show were leaked earlier today, and a big first-time-ever title match was revealed to be in the works. It’s expected that more matches for New Year’s Evil on January 2nd will be confirmed.
