Last October, Sam Raimi confirmed that he’s developing another EVIL DEAD movie under a new director and Bruce Campbell producing. Campbell recently teased that the new movie will begin filming this year. And today it looks like WWE fans really want CM Punk to take over the role of Ash.

You know what? CM Punk is great! He should play a guy in a horror series named Nash, or Bash, or Lash. With all due respect, the name Ash is, like the best table at a restaurant, reserved. https://t.co/IwFidPQRDv

@CMPunk would probably be the only person who could look and play the part of Ash from the Evil Dead. pic.twitter.com/AH6qw0mbkK

After watching Girl on the third floor, @CMPunk would make an awesome ash Williams in an evil dead reboot. Just saying.

Just watched Girl on the third floor (3/10) BUT what I would be into is CM PUNK as Ash in Evil Dead remake/reboot/spinoff. He's got the style #Groovy #Netflix

What do you think of GIRL ON THE THIRD FLOOR and WWE star CM Punk as new Ash? Let us know below!

The last time we saw the titular evil dead on the big screen was in director Fede Alvarez's 2013 remake, which followed:

Mia (Jane Levy), a drug addict, is determined to kick the habit. To that end, she asks her brother, David (Shiloh Fernandez), his girlfriend, Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore) and their friends Olivia (Jessica Lucas) and Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) to accompany her to their family's remote forest cabin to help her through withdrawal. Eric finds a mysterious Book of the Dead at the cabin and reads aloud from it, awakening an ancient demon. All hell breaks loose when the malevolent entity possesses Mia.
