This past Friday We saw the Return of CM Punk on AEW’s second episode of Rampage. Many fans in attendance were obviously overjoyed and excited by the debut, and AEW cameras caught a lot of it, including a fan who was overtaken with emotion and openly cried during Punks entrance.
While speaking to Espn1000, Punk explained why his return meant so much to him as well as fans and understands why it was an emotional moment. He then came to the aid of the fan that was filmed crying stating,’ If there mocking the fan they are mocking punk himself.’
“I’m a Chicago sports guy. I cried when the Cubs won the World Series, I cried when the Blackhawks won the (Stanley) Cup, the times I was alive when they won the Cup, not back in the 60s. It means a lot and it means a lot because I’m so attached to Chicago and sports, especially. I understand. Anyone making fun of that dude, you’re making fun of me too. There is nothing wrong with being emotional at sporting events or anything you like. I’ll cry at a Marvel movie.”
Punk is scheduled to be on this week’s episode of dynamite and is due to be back on the microphone. This is just the beginning of a big run and has to see where Punk is headed in the company.
