Sporting a Bret Hart hoodie, Punk engaged in some light-hearted banter with Michaels before teasing the audience with news about his WWE future.
Amid chants from the crowd and speculation about whether he would sign with Raw, SmackDown, or even NXT, Punk played up the suspense.
The audience eagerly chanted his name, and just when anticipation reached its peak, Punk’s music hit. After sharing a moment with Michaels, Punk whispered a few words to him before bidding farewell to the NXT crowd.
