CM Punk's first night as World Heavyweight Champion didn't end well, as he was taken out by Logan Paul and The Vision. The list of enemies has grown longer for The Second City Saint, and he may need more manpower by his side. Interestingly, a UFC star's recent comments have opened up the possibility of him coming to Punk's aid.

The name in question is Michael Chandler. The 39-year-old has expressed interest in debuting in WWE, and he has an opponent in mind: Logan Paul. Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on a recent episode of INSIGHT, the UFC star had the following to say about potentially competing in the Stamford-based promotion:

“When’s Wrestlemania? [April] So we can’t do Wrestlemania. SummerSlam is in August? I knew there’s one in August. Minneapolis in August. Me versus Logan Paul. Could be awesome. We’ll see. We got a lot of talks to happen between now and then. Obviously, they know I’m interested. I believe they’re interested. So we’ll see where we’re at.”

As Chandler stated, WWE is also interested in having him compete. With The Maverick picking a fight with CM Punk, the creative team could introduce the 39-year-old to join forces with The Second City Saint. Given Punk's own history with UFC, a potential alliance with Michael Chandler would be intriguing.

Chandler could join the babyface team to counter The Vision and its newest member, Logan Paul. This would add more star power to the storyline, making it even more interesting for fans to witness. That said, this scenario is purely based on speculation, and nothing has been confirmed.
