CM Punk doesn’t think wrestlers will unionize any time soon due to stupidity and selfishness.
At AEW All In, Punk was involved in yet another backstage altercation. However, this one would be different than those in the past in various ways. Namely, Punk not only fought with Jack Perry, he also reportedly lunged at AEW president Tony Khan while furiously quitting the company.
These events would leave Khan no other choice but to fire the Chicago native with cause, despite Punk’s drawing power and status as the companies “real world’s champion”. Punk has yet to comment on the matter.
Now, while speaking to The Score, Punk was asked about if wrestlers will unionize, noting that they won’t due to stupidity and selfishness.
“For professional wrestling, yeah, wrestlers should 100% have a union. I’ll always say this, and I mean it in the most loving way; wrestlers will never unionize because wrestlers are stupid and selfish. That’s just the way it is. There is always going to be somebody else around the corner that wants what you have or possibly doesn’t want you to have what you have and they will do whatever the promoter wants you to do for less money. That’s unfortunate. The boys never stick together.”

Recently, Montez Ford noted that he would welcome CM Punk back to WWE.
Elsewhere in the interview, Punk was asked about possibly appearing at Survivor Series.
