It was earlier reported on the UG that WWE champion would walk Chael Sonnen out on Jan 28th in Chicago when he fights Mark Munoz. Now it appears that WWE CEO Vince McMahon is not allowing it.
WWE champion CM Punk will not escort Chael Sonnen to the Octagon prior to Sonnen’s fight against Mark Munoz on Jan. 28, after all.
Punk confirmed with MMAFighting.com that WWE chairman Vince McMahon decided against allowing him to walk out to the cage with Sonnen later this month. MMA reporter FrontRowBrian first reported the news Friday afternoon.
The Punk/Sonnen pairing created a major buzz in both the MMA and professional wrestling world when it was first reported, but most assumed it was UFC president Dana White who would be against the idea of a pro wrestler walking out to the cage with a top fighter on FOX, not McMahon.
