Belal Muhammad Seeks CM Punk's Help for 2025 Royal Rumble Entry

UFC Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad is eyeing a mid-2025 return to the Octagon, targeting fights shortly after Ramadan, but he has ruled out a match against his training partner, Islam Makhachev, due to their close relationship. Muhammad is focused on staying active and likely to face top contender Shavkat Rakhmonov in his comeback. In a playful twist, during an interview, Muhammad expressed his desire to enter the WWE's Royal Rumble, calling on former WWE star CM Punk for assistance in making it happen. He reminisced about his childhood wrestling experiences and hinted at being ready for the challenge. CM Punk responded, suggesting that Muhammad could be a surprise entrant, which sparked excitement among fans. The Royal Rumble, scheduled for February 1, is expected to feature numerous stars, including John Cena and Roman Reigns, adding to the anticipation of Muhammad's potential crossover into wrestling.
