“Life is good when your a #PaulHeymanGuy!!!,” tweeted Axel followed with a photo of Lesnar, himself, CM Punk, and Paul Heyman.

CM Punk was quick to correct his team mate – if you can call him like that – retweeting the same message but at the end he added a simple correction. “You’re,” Punk wrote, pointing out the mistake of the tweet.

The son of the late Mr Perfect was also quick to fire back at the former WWE champion.

“Love the grammar geeks! Just think, how impressive would it be to correct grammar with one eye after I bust YOUR orbital bone? #nerds,” he wrote.

Trouble in paradise already?

Punk – who is currently on a sabbatical from his WWE duties – was initially advertised on the WWE site to be appearing in both shows however his name has now been taken off the roster.

The former WWE champion is not listed for any shows till SummerSlam.

“He will be here Saturday. He will be in the locker room. I don’t believe he’s be part of the walk-out…he’s welcome to,” Sonnen told Ariel Helwani.

Sonnen said that Punk will be there for “encouragement” and added that Dana White gave the former WWE champion “one of the best seats in the house,” sitting cage side.

Punk was going to walk out with Sonnen at the UFC on FOX show back in January 2012 however Vince McMahon pulled Punk from doing the appearance.

Punk – accompanied by his beautiful girlfriend and former WWE Diva Lita – joined Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Kingsley, Stan Lee, Joss Whedon, Don Cheadle, and other Hollywood big shots on the red carpet.

You can check out two photos of the two at the premiere below. Hey, you don’t often see Lita in a dress and high heels!

This deal will limit Punk’s wrestling for WWE to just once a week plus other appearances for the company, a nice change from the usual four days a week of touring including television.

The WWE website has no mention of Punk at non-televised events till early July, where he is then advertised for tours in Japan and Australia.

The former WWE champion revealed on the MMA Hour show with Ariel Helwani yesterday that he might be attending the UFC event in San Jose, California, this weekend, confirming himself that he would not be traveling with the WWE crew for the bi-annual long European tour.

Punk and his girlfriend and former WWE Diva Lita attended The Ultimate Fighter 17 finale in Las Vegas this past Saturday and was acknowledged on the live broadcast on FX.

Punk said he didn’t want to spoil anything about tonight’s RAW but they have given him an open mic once again, and his comment about going to a UFC show this weekend rather than WWE will “make sense” after everyone sees tonight’s broadcast.

Punk and his girlfriend and former WWE Diva Lita attended The Ultimate Fighter 17 finale in Las Vegas this past Saturday and was acknowledged on the live broadcast on FX.

“For all you wrasslin fans, CM Punk has arrived at TUF Finale,” tweeted Dave Sholler, the UFC Director of Communications. Sholler also revealed that Punk attended the post-fight press conference and sat in the back.

“If he invades this presser, I’m not sure what I’ll do,” he jokingly said.

Punk was accompanied by his girlfriend Amy Dumas, formerly known as WWE Diva Lita.

You can see two photos of Punk, one from the broadcast, and one standing next to Dumas below.

Last week, CM Punk interrupted the tribute that WWE was giving to the late Paul Bearer, who passed away days before the show. Eventually Punk ended the show stealing the urn and earlier this week he was juggling the urn like a basketball, even dropping it.

Bearer’s two sons were flown in for RAW last week and were given the scenario and asked for their blessing.

“We felt that dad would have wanted us at RAW last week and agreed to the angle. We knew Dad wouldn’t have wanted it any other way,” one of the sons said.

Punk also missed the last couple of non-televised shows and on another occasion he only did an interview, avoiding getting physical in the ring.

Rumors are that Punk is injured and WWE is protecting him till his match against the Undertaker at WrestleMania. The alleged injury occurred when he wrestled Kane on RAW last week. On yesterday’s RAW, Punk did not wrestle either and was only involved in a segment backstage, taunting the Undertaker by playing with Paul Bearer’s urn like it was a basketball.

The Undertaker made an appearance at the start of RAW appearing on stage with a WrestleMania 29 logo shown behind him after the lights came back up. That was the Undertaker’s only appearance on the show.

CM Punk came out after the RAW open and challenged the Undertaker however Randy Orton, Big Show, and Sheamus all had the same idea. Vickie Guerrero fixed things with a fatal four way with the winner challenging the Undertaker.

The four wrestled in the main event on RAW and Punk ended up pinning Randy Orton after delivering a GTS for the pin.

This is not the first time that Punk will be wrestling the Undertaker as the two had a series of matches  a few years ago when Punk was going through his first World Heavyweight title reigns.

The former WWE champion made good on his promise to meet Dotterer and traveled to the hospital for the meet and greet. Friends, family, and fans held a rally as well to collect money for Dotterer who then insisted the money collected to be donated to a charity.

Dotterer made the news after he was interviewed following the robbery saying that he was more pissed off about CM Punk losing the WWE title to The Rock than being shot in his eye.

You can see the news video clip about this story from News Channel 9 below.

News Channel 9 in Syracuse is reporting that WWE has offered Thomas Dotterer ringside seats and a meet and greet with CM Punk on Sunday, something which certainly will brighten his day as he says he’s still coming to grips with the reality of having a different life than before the accident.

Wrestling has been his life-long passion and told News Channel 9 that it will be an honor for him to be there even though he’s not one to be too star-struck.

“It’s kept me youthful and it’s provided me with untold smiles,” Dotterer said about his love of wrestling.

Both Superstars kicked out of each other’s finishing moves, with CM Punk also delivering the now non-existent piledriver on Cena. Cena on his part delivered a hurricanrana as part of his finishing sequence which saw Cena delivering another Attitude Adjustment for the pinfall victory.

After the match was over, the current WWE champion The Rock tweeted a congratulatory message to the number one contender after finally defeating CM Punk.

“Congrats John.. Its official: Wrestlemania 29 @WWE Heavyweight Champion The Rock vs @JohnCena Greatness vs Redemption #BringIt,” Rocky wrote.

The argument came on Twitter when someone that Punk follows said that he “did nazi that coming” regarding the Pope resigning from his post as head of the Catholic church. Punk liked the joke so much that he retweeted it and said that the joke was “magic!”

A fan pointed out that his tweet might have been “an envelope-pushing” one for a company employee.

“Oh pis off. Pope was a nazi,” fired back Punk.

Another fan expressed his disgust that Punk called the Pope a Nazi and said that as a long time fan, he’s offended. Punk was quick to reply, pointing out that there’s an unfollow button if he wants.

The Pope was part of the Nazi youth squad when he was young.

Dotterer explained how he’s been a life-long wrestling fan and remembers him watching it with his dad in the early 40s. He said that CM Punk is one of his favorites as he is “outstanding in various aspects of wrestling” and because he does a masterful job.

Dotterrer went on to say that he likes wrestling because of all the athleticism, determination, and skill and Punk is outstanding in his art.

The hosts then told Dotterrer that they have CM Punk on the line and he’s been listening the whole time. He thanked Punk and the WWE for their work with the Armed Forces and for the smiles they bring to children.

“You gotta stop talking so I can put you over for a second,” joked Punk, as Dotterrer kept talking over with his excitement.

Punk joked some more telling him that he’s supposed to hate him and that he was ruining his gimmick but he wasn’t there to talk wrestling, but rather to tell everyone how awesome Dotterrer is.

You can listen to the segment below.

In a story that was published by NewsChannel 9 WYSR in New York, Thomas Dotterer was back on the job this week with a new outlook on life after the robbery gone bad.

But still, what happened at the Rumble was the only thing that ruined his week.

“That’s the worst thing that happened to me all week, the Rock beat Punk. Did you know that?” he told the reporter.

The reporter who covered the story contacted Punk via Twitter to let him know about it and Punk requested confirmation of the story.

“Tom Dotterer is amazing. He’s got my respect. If he needs anything from me let me know,” Punk replied to the reporter.

CM Punk got in the ring after The Rock walked back up the ramp, grabbed the microphone and told his opponent, “13 days my ass! Just bring it.” After stalling for a few seconds, The Rock ran down the ramp and attacked Punk as referees tried to separate the two.

The pushing and shoving continued for a few more until Punk walked straight into a Rock Bottom. Referees and agents then pushed The Rock out of the ring as his theme blared over the arena speakers.

You can watch a video of this below.

Graham jumped in defense of Bruno Sammartino after Punk said that his 414 days as champion would amount to more if he wrestled like Sammartino just once a month at MSG, hence his status of best in the world.

“When that teenager looking CM Punk made that statement he was also talking about me, Ivan Koloff, Stan Hanson etc,” Graham said. He also added that he lost all the respect for Punk for what he said and for going with the script.

Just like Graham jumped in defense of Sammartino, Chris Jericho chimed in to defend Punk and his promo on RAW. On his Twitter, Jericho told Graham to shut his mouth and even went as far as calling him a mark.

Meanwhile, Paul Heyman suggested that CM Punk should defend the WWE title on Hall of Fame night at MSG against Billy Graham, then asked “flesh peddling promoter” Vince McMahon to book it.

“Hogan. Flair. Superstar. All great. @CMPunk #BestInTheWorld. That includes you, @TheRock! @WWE #Rumble,” Heyman wrote.

After The Rock delivered the Rock Bottom to CM Punk and the show faded to black on television, the WWE champion came back out and told the People’s Champion that he wasn’t finished with him. Punk hit the ring but was welcomed with another Rock Bottom for interrupting.

The second Rock Bottom was not enough for the champion and once again interrupted The Rock and once again ate a Rock Bottom but this time it was followed by a People’s Elbow.

After the third Rock Bottom of the night and the elbow, Punk called it a night and The Rock got on the mic to thank the fans.

The main event was supposed to headline the TLC pay-per-view last month however emergency knee surgery prevented Punk – who is over 400 consecutive days as champion – to be part of the show. Ryback’s only defeat so far has come at the hands of CM Punk.

Plus, the one and only The Rock will return to WWE television for the first time since July’s RAW 1000 celebration. The Rock will be appearing frequently on WWE TV in the next quarter as he goes for the gold at the Royal Rumble and then his involvement at the Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania pay-per-views.
