Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving CM Punk.
• During an interview with Ringside Collectibles at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, CM Punk talked about his current WWE run. Below are the highlights:
Creative state of WWE right now:
“The cool thing about where we’re at as a company right now, creatively speaking, this is the most fruitful, creative locker room that I think I’ve ever been in where ideas aren’t ignored and shot down, and people are eager to share ideas, you know, so somebody someday could have a brilliant idea that something that I have blinders on and can’t see, and I would be receptive to any of the ideas as long as they’re good.”
If he’s getting creative freedom during his current WWE run compared to his first run:
“Yeah, absolutely. To a point where I almost don’t like talking about it because everyone thinks I’m just like toeing the company line, you know, but I know if this place is the way it was now, I wouldn’t have left 10 years ago. This is the most basic way I can explain it. Really exciting.”

McIntyre and CM Punk are working closely to craft their feud and all references to past AEW or backstage issues have been given the green light by Punk ahead of time.”
