CM Punk to Face Chris Jericho at WWE Payback in Chicago.

During last night’s Highlight Reel segment, Paul Heyman accepted Chris Jericho’s challenge to CM Punk for a match at Payback.   The Payback pay-per-view will be in Chicago, IL on June 16, 2013.  Over the past week or so there has been talk of Punk working a program with Brock Lesnar this summer.  If that feud comes to fruition it would most likely involve a face turn for either Punk or Lesnar sometime before SummerSlam.

CM Punk worked a program with Chris Jericho leading to Punk succesfully defending his WWE Championship against Jericho at Wrestlemania 28 in Miami.

WWE has not yet announced if CM Punk will be on next Monday’s RAW from Hartford, CT.  This will be CM Punk’s first match since losing to The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 29.
