The story is correct (or at least updated), but someone saw the copyright logo Saturday and called it a night.

 

As reported by Charissa Thompson …

 

Imagine if Punk pulls out that extra AEW belt he had in his last run and trash cans it tonight on Raw.

 

She'll be out just in time for Raw's 50th anniversary, so she can have a Mae/Moolah run.

 

Yep, she ain’t smiling now. It’s really a shame. She had so much going for her, and she threw it all away.

WWE Legend Tammy Sytch Sentenced To 17 Years In Prison For Fatal Car Crash

 

In the embedded clip TMZ has in its story, there's a guy asking almost disgustedly and disappointingly, "Is that her?"

 

A YouTube channel I watch, Mythical Kitchen, does a series called Last Meal where the host eats a celebrities "last meal" with them and interviews them. It's a pretty good series that's had some interesting folks on it, including recently Seth Rollins. As part of his meal, Rollins had what I thought was an odd choice of sodas, and when he was drinking it, he said something along the lines of "it's been almost 10 years since I've had a full-calorie soda." The soda in question: A Pepsi. Until I saw the tweet above, I hadn't even thought about Punk's connection to Pepsi.

If he didn't know Punk was coming to the WWE back when they filmed that (which had to have been at least five or six weeks ago), it was a world-class level troll to drop that Easter egg in there.

 

Yeah, I’d imagine she’s not exactly living a healthy lifestyle behind bars. Not that she was living healthy before then.

I remember seeing her in the Apter magazines when she was in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, circa 1994, and as a young 20-something guy, thinking that there was no way a girl like her would have given me the time of day. Who knew that nearly 30 years in the future, I’d still be reading about her (and on a small device that can let me do practically everything), and be seeing that same girl on one of the worst days of her life.

I’m just trying to picture her now sitting in a cell block, looking back at her life, and what she had going for her, and what she could have accomplished further in life, and wondering how the hell she messed up everything. While it’s not a life sentence, how does someone like her keep living every day?

 

The excitement in Corey's face is just palpable.

 

Interesting. Not necessarily saying he's headed for a big Mania reveal like his pal Cody, but QT had a lot of hats in the ring at AEW, literally and figuratively.

 

Imagine how popular Punk would be if he was strong enough to actually make his finisher look remotely good.

 

Julius Creed even makes a botch look athletic as all hell.
