— It has now been confirmed that WWE Superstars CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, The Shield, Ricky Steamboat and A.J. Lee will be appearing at this year’s Wizard World Comic Con in Chicago, IL. The event takes place from August 8th through August 11th at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. You can find more information at WizardWorld.com.
— 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.
