WATCH: AEW’s CM Punk Appears On ESPN SportsNation

He has something to say. There are a lot of wrestlers who are known for their in-ring abilities while others are known for their talking. Very rarely do you see someone who is excellent at both and it makes sense to have those people as the focal point of a promotion. That is the case with modern wrestling as well, and now one of them is getting some extra attention.

AEW’s CM Punk appeared on ESPN’s SportsNation and discussed his time in AEW so far. In addition, Punk spoke about his debut, as well as some of the younger names that he is looking forward to working with in the future. Punk also spoke about his promo insulting the NHL’s New York Islanders and his thoughts on boxing and combat sports stars coming into professional wrestling.

It was an interesting interview. Check out the whole thing, plus Punk in AEW:

Opinion: This is one of those things that makes AEW feel like a big deal because hearing Punk’s name on ESPN sounds important. He is one of the biggest stars AEW has and is being presented as such, which is a great thing to see. Above all else, AEW needs to get more people watching their show and this is the kind of thing that is going to work for everyone involved.
