The WWE-headliner-turned-UFC-fighter will take part in MTV’s “The Challenge: Champs vs. Pros” this spring, MTV’s official website announced Monday. CM Punk and nine other well-known pro-sports figures will go head-to-head with former winners of MTV shows “Road Rules” and “Real World” in athletic competitions.
Among the other pro athletes competing are Olympian Lolo Jones, snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis, former NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman and former WNBA player Candice Wiggins.
Each athlete has a chance to win $50,000 for a charity of their choosing. CM Punk is competing for PAWS Chicago, a no-kill animal shelter in his home city.
