The seeds of a feud between CM Punk and Samoa Joe were planted right during the Owen Hart Foundation 2023 Men's Tournament Semi-Final, where the Chicago Native was able to pull off an impressive win. While he tried to shake hands with the Samoan Submission Machine, his feelings of respect were not reciprocated.
The ensuing weeks saw both of the stars attacking each other in unexpected ways, culminating in a match being scheduled for All In. As expected, the bout was intense right from the start. Punk was also busted open during a particularly brutal spot.

A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
