Chavo Cuerrero reflects on working with CM Punk in the past.
Punk is yet again the centre of the wrestling world’s discourse as over the last few days, more reports have come out regarding his status with WWE.
It even led to the man himself addressing the recent reports in a social media post.
Punk has been discussed by several wrestlers in recent months, and now Chavo Guerrero has weighed in on the discussion.
The two faced off previously, working together in January of 2008 on the revived ECW brand in WWE.
Speaking on Cafe de Rene with Rene Dupree, Guerrero discussed working with Punk and dethroning him as ECW Champion.
“That story of me beating CM Punk, so Punk was the champ in ECW. He was very cool, and the reason why we started working is because he went to Vince McMahon and goes, ‘Hey.’ First, he came to me and goes, ‘Hey, Chavo, you want to work a program with me?’ I was like, ‘Hell yes.’ He goes, ‘Eddie was a big influence on me, and I just think that we could do really well.’ So we went to Vince. Vince approved it, liked it. Originally, this is, Chris Jericho told me this, he was pretty high up there. He told me, ‘You know you were supposed to just have a small program with CM Punk, and when it was time to take it off Punk, that were going to put it on Shelton Benjamin. But because you work so well together, they put it on you. It was not the original plan.’ So that’s kind of how that happened. Man, I loved working with Punk. All the stuff going on with him now, I’m not there, I don’t see it. But I had no issues whatsoever when we worked together. We worked together probably two-or-three hundred times, or hundreds of times, a long time, for months and months. We never had a problem. Literally not one issue. We’d call most of it in the ring, we’d go in there and just go for it. It was awesome. I had no issues with him. I wish we’d work again, that’s how much I liked it,”

Punk was terminated with cause by AEW back in the following days after AEW All In, and is now a free agent.
We will have to wait and see where Punk ends up next.
