CM Punk Blasts Former WWE Bosses, Says They Were “65 And Racist”

I guess he isn’t a fan. There have been a lot of changes to the wrestling world in recent months and that is likely going to continue to be the case for a good while to come. Some of the moves have been bigger than others, but one of the most important was CM Punk’s arrival in AEW last month. It was quite the change, but one of the more interesting parts is seeing what Punk has to say now that the move is done.

Punk was a guest on a recent edition of Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette and discussed his time in WWE. Punk talked about how there were several people in WWE who would get wrestlers off of television if they did not understand something. This included his early days in WWE in 2006/7 when unnamed people did not seem to get what Punk was doing. Punk’s thoughts at the time was that they were “65 and racist” so he was happy those people did not like him.

Punk has been a rather different person since he came to AEW. Check out some of his time there so far:

CM Punk Has Arrived in AEW! | AEW Rampage: The First Dance, 8/20/21

What happened When CM Punk & Darby Allin came Face to Face? | AEW Dynamite 100, 9/1/21

CM Punk Makes his Dynamite Debut, Listen to What he had to Say! | AEW Dynamite, 8/25/21

Opinion: That’s the kind of statement that is going to get some attention, which is often the case with things Punk says. I’m not sure who he is talking about with such comments but Punk certainly does not seem to like some of the people he worked under in WWE. There is a chance that he is exaggerating a bit, but it does not seem to be much of a surprise that he left the company.

What did you think of Punk’s comments? How have you liked his time in AEW so far? Let us know in the comments below.
