Before her time in AEW and NWA Serena Deeb was a weekly fixture with WWE.
During her run with WWE, Deeb found herself working alongside Doc Gallows and CM Punk in the Straight Edge Society. Things have come full circle and now are both on the AEW roster.
In a recent interview with Wrestling Inc, Deeb would talk about how punk helped her career.
“We have a great relationship, we obviously go back a long way and we did some really good business together over the years,” Deeb said. “I met Punk in, I want to say 2005 at OVW when he first reported there and Paul Heyman was booking the show and Punk was his guy.”
Deeb would go on to explain how Punk helped her before prior to signing with WWE.
“Punk was the driving force behind getting me to Shimmer for the first time, which at the time was, as a female wrestler, that was the indie that you aspire to go to because that was the best. From Shimmer that got me to Ring Of Honor. Punk really guided me and really helped support me in getting to all these places before WWE.”
Deeb also explained how Punk still gives her advice before her matches, and praised how he is able to tell stories and draw in fans. She also teased that the two may work together again in the future.
“He’s somebody I think all the guys and all the women should be asking for feedback. I ask him. I ask him to watch my matches, he doesn’t always get the chance to because he’s doing a million things on the show. The dude’s a master storyteller. I mean he blows my mind with some of the stuff he does. He’s clearly one of the best to ever do it and we have a great relationship. We talk every week and everything is great and yeah, we might see a reunion one day.”
Hikaru Shida picked up another win over Serena Deeb in the ongoing rivalry between the two on last night’s AEW’s Dynamite Winter Is Coming special.
