Writer Behind CM Punk and GUNTHER’s Explosive WWE RAW Promo Revealed

The intense back-and-forth between CM Punk and GUNTHER on the July 28 episode of WWE RAW had fans hooked—and now we know who was behind it.

According to Fightful Select, WWE writer Alexandra Williams was the creative force responsible for scripting the segment that set the tone for their SummerSlam showdown.

The segment began with GUNTHER walking to the ring and boasting about how he verbally dismantled Punk the week prior. He claimed that despite the crowd’s reminder of his own submission loss, he still left Punk speechless. He confidently declared that Punk had nothing left to say because he shut him down completely.

Punk then made his entrance and clarified that he wasn’t speechless out of defeat, but rather overwhelmed with realization. He admitted that he doesn’t want the World Heavyweight Championship just to have it—he needs it. Wrestling is his addiction, and becoming champion again would be his way of thanking the fans who’ve supported him through everything.

He didn’t hold back, calling GUNTHER arrogant and stating that, unlike him, GUNTHER couldn’t back up his ego. As GUNTHER tried to get the last word, Punk cut him off, stating that he wasn’t on his level and promised to walk out of SummerSlam as champion.

The entire segment delivered a perfect mix of tension, emotion, and ego—and now fans know who to credit. Alexandra Williams may not be a household name, but she proved she knows how to write for two of WWE’s biggest stars and deliver a moment that sets the stage for a huge pay-per-view clash.
