— We noted earlier this week that CM Punk appeared at a recent Rancid concert. The band brought Punk on stage and the lead singer mentioned writing a new theme song for him. This obviously started some rumors about CM Punk debuting a new theme song tonight at WWE’s Payback pay-per-view. In an update on this, there is talk within WWE now that Punk will in fact get a new theme song in the near future. No word as of this writing on when the new theme song will debut.
