Jamie Hayter thinks you would have to be a fool to not wanting to work with CM Punk.
Punk is set to make his AEW return this week on Saturday when he will wrestle in a trios match on the debut episode of AEW Collision. This has lead to a split opinion from many fans, but several AEW talent have come out and backed Punk with his return coming up.
Ahead of the premiere of AEW Collision, Jamie Hayter was asked by Alistair McGeorge of Metro for her thoughts on Punk’s return.
“From my experience with him, he was always very, very pleasant. Very helpful, and I always had really great conversations with him about wrestling. He’s a wealth of knowledge because he’s been in the business for so long, and he’s got extensive experience. You’d kind of be a fool not to want to pick his brain and not want to work with the guy. He knows what he’s doing!” she exclaimed.
Hayter continued, “He was one of the most gripping performers in professional wrestling. The Summer of Punk, all of that, everyone was so into it and there was a reason why he was the most popular wrestler. To be honest, I would say he’s still incredibly popular now, regardless of the All Out stuff and the drama. He’s still a big name and he’s still wanted in the business. You know what? It’s not my company. I can’t speak for everybody, but I wouldn’t have an issue with it. If it’s gonna be good for the company, then I’m all for it. If it’s gonna put butts in seats, if it’s gonna get people to watch, then absolutely!”
