CM Punk ’s next taste of athletic competition will take place on a reality show – but it won’t be for the UFC or on “The Ultimate Fighter.” Instead, Punk (real name Phil Books), is set to join the cast of MTV’s “The Challenge,” which pits professional athletes against a group of non-professionals in head-to-head physical competitions. The upcoming season will see 10 previous champions from the show go up against a group of athletes, which includes Punk, retired WNBA star Candice Wiggins, Olympic hurdler/bobsledder Lolo Jones, championship surfer Tia Blanco, and more. The series premiere is set for May 16. NFL wide receiver Victor Cruz serves as the host. Related If MMA is a bust after UFC 203 loss, could 'CM Punk' return to WWE for a big payday
