WWE news: CM Punk TROLLED by shock NHL team rep ahead of UFC comeback
CM PUNK was told off by a hockey mascot on Twitter ahead of his UFC comeback.
CM Punk discusses working on returning to UFC
The WWE legend is getting ready to return to the Octagon to face Mike Jackson at UFC 225 on June 9 at the United Center in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
But before his MMA bout, the six-time world champion took a swipe at the Las Vegas Golden Knights’ mascot, Chance The Gila Monster.
The ex-WWE Champion compared Chance to a Star Wars character called Bossk.
CM Punk (real name Phil Brooks) tweeted: “Just dawned on me that the @GoldenKnights mascot is Bossk.”

...hi @ColtCabana
The ex-World Heavyweight Champion established himself as a top WWE superstar when he launched a scathing and unscripted verbal attack against John Cena, Triple H and the McMahons in 2011.
Ever since then his name has turned into one of the most popular WWE chants.
The Golden Knights’ mascot decided to retort by turning his own legendary pipebomb speech against him - he even gave Colt Cabana a shout-out.
Chance tweeted: “I don’t hate you, Phil. I don’t even dislike you. I do like you. I like you a heck of a lot more than I like most haters.
I don’t hate you, Phil. I don’t even dislike you. I do like you. I like you a heck of a lot more than I like most haters.

I hate this idea that you’re the best. Because you’re not. I’m the best. I’m the best in the World.

CM Punk is one of the greatest WWE legends ever
“I hate this idea that you’re the best. Because you’re not. I’m the best. I’m the best in the World.
“… hi @ColtCabana.”
CM Punk endured a miserable debut at UFC 203 against Mickey Gall as he tapped out in the first round.
WWE superstar Roman Reigns poked a little fun on The Second City Saint's expense when asked if he will watch him in action inside the Octagon.
Reigns replied during WWE's UK Tour: "If it goes longer than 30 seconds...
"I better prepare my food and drinks early because you never know..."
Reigns' next match will take place at Money in the Bank where he will face Jinder Mahal.
