Former WWE Champion and UFC fighter CM Punk has landed a role on the upcoming STARZ series Heels, as revealed by actor Stephen Amell, best known for his role as Oliver Queen on Arrow.
Punk originally auditioned for the role of Jack Spade back in 2017, impressing casting directors, but was not hired after the project was paused. When the project resumed, Amell was brought in to play the role of Spade, with Punk now on board portraying his adversary.
Please welcome @CMPunk to @HeelsSTARZ — He was a little rusty in the ring yesterday, but I assured him it was just like riding a bike. pic.twitter.com/EyoxizTKyQ
