Wrestling News Round-Up : Trump To Visit Undertaker, CM Punk Lands New Role & More

Just when you thought you knew today's news, we changed the... erm, headlines? Roddy Piper was much better at delivering that.

The Takedown has you covered for a full round-up of the day's top news stories from WWE, AEW, TNA, and more.

Today's News Round-Up: Tuesday October 16, 2024

• CM Punk is getting back into acting with a role in the upcoming indie horror Night Patrol, directed by Ryan Prows and produced by David S. Goyer (Blade 2). The film wrapped principal photography this week with cast members including Freddie Gibbs, YG, Flying Lotus, and Justin Long. Punk is playing a big bad in the movie which will see a 2025 release.

• Politico reported that Donald Trump may be appearing on The Undertaker's podcast, Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway, sometime this week, although an exact date hasn't been targeted. Presidential nominee Trump appeared on former United States Champion Logan Paul's podcast earlier this year.

• Bret Hart visited The Wrestling Classic for an interview where he described Rey Mysterio Jr. as "right up there as the best there is, best there was, best there ever will be." That's high praise, especially from The Hitman, one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time who's, let's say, rather efficient with his commendations. In the same interview, Hart also spoke about his appearance on an episode of The Simpsons.
