CM Punk arrives at AEW Rampage

by

CM Punk officially hit All Elite Wrestling on Friday night during AEW Rampage, opening the show with their commercial entry “Cult of Personality”. Punk has not officially fought since leaving the WWE in 2014. In the following years, he was asked several times if his wrestling career was over and, although he never really closed the door, it took seven years to do it for good. the leap back into business. During that time away he fought twice in the UFC, worked on several comics and expanded his acting career with roles in Girl on the third floor, Rabid, Jacob’s wife i Heels. In 2019 he briefly dipped his finger into the world of wrestling, signing with FOX Sports to become an analyst at the WWE Backstage program in FS1, although this program closed in mid-2020.

When asked about AEW after its launch in 2019, Punk said on numerous occasions that he was interested in the promotion. He told Renee Paquette Oral sessions at the end of last year, “I think nowadays the landscape is very different than when I left. You can play the game where you say, ‘Oh, AEW was an option, would you have gone right after leaving WWE?’ “If you play this game, there’s no way they (WWE) would have handled it the same way they did by suspending me for two months and no one would contact me and the next one I know, I get my release papers on mine on the wedding day.This wouldn’t have happened if there was an AEW.Because then they would probably have approached me and said, “Hey, your suspension is over. Ready to go back to work? We’re going to solve it. ”Or handle it like any other sports organization would have handled it [a] pitcher of stars to go home. Not only will they let him leave the team, he will go to a rival organization. “

“What would it take? Wow. Without wanting to insult anyone on either side of the fence, any WWE talent or AEW talent, we would need, above all, an interesting scenario,” he added. “A story that would be fun to tell and also the stupidest amount of money. But they can save a lot of money if they present a funny story. Now, what is this, I don’t know. I’m a pretty picky guy, especially in this moment. I think there are more interesting people on the AEW side to fight, and that’s because I’ve never fought them before. Young Bucks, Kenny Omega. “

He also confirmed that he spoke with AEW President Tony Khan when the company first launched Main event on Sunday night recently, “Yeah, I talked to Tony. My perspective on that, and I said it in my face, I’m a guy who’s always heard, ‘Hey, I have a guy with money!’ “or” Hey, I have TV! “at least once or twice a year for 15-20 years of my wrestling career … it always seems like someone [says]“Oh, we’ll start and compete with Vince [McMahon]. “I always think it came from a bad point, because I think if you start a wrestling business, I think you should always focus on yourself. So more or less, I took a wait-and-see approach. I was not and am not interested in the professional struggle in this regard. “
