Fans around the wrestling world are anticipating the return of CM Punk. After almost 9 years the Second City Savior is Gearing up for a return next week at AEW’s First Dance show that is being held at the United Center in Chicago. We reported a few weeks ago that Punk, as well as Daniel Bryan, had inked a deal with the company to the surprise of many fans.
In a recent interview with Sunday Nights Main Event Punk was asked about his current viewing habits where he admitted that WWE is not on his watchlist. He noted that during his time working the Back Stage show for WWE he was required to, but those days have come and gone, and he’s on to better things.
“No, I had to watch it a little bit when I was an analyst for FOX. But I mean… hmm, how do I say this diplomatically? Um, no, I think they’ve got some people who are super awesome and great in the ring, but you know, nothing grabs me to get me to want to watch.”
“I’m getting ‘a little long in the tooth’ now. And I would much rather uplift and show love to things I like than to tear anything down. You know, you can’t say that what they’re doing is wrong. They are the most profitable they’ve ever been since their inception, so who am I to say… you know what I mean? Like… it’s ice cream, there’s 31,000 flavors, everybody gets their favorite, I just don’t like vanilla.”
We are sure Punk will have a lot to say once he debuts for AEW ‘
