• CM Punk Reveals What He Doesn’t Want To Be In WWE Right Now
During an interview with TV Insider, CM Punk was asked if he’d like a backstage role in WWE, similar to what Triple H has. Here’s what Punk said: “Between me and Triple H, there is so much more of an understanding. I’ve advanced in my life to a point where I have the perspective I didn’t have before. For him likewise has advanced in life to where he has experiences and knowledge he didn’t have before. Me and him, I think we were both on the main roster, and were talented guys. It was more adversarial because we were competition.
Now we’re not and are on the same page and want to help the next generation and kind of guide them the right way with their creativity showing through but also producing them. It’s more like, ‘Maybe do it this way and see what happens.’ Look, I love working with the guy. It’s amazing. It’s really a treat. I think we’ve only scratched the tip of the iceberg. I’m still kind of pumping the brakes on any kind of office title.
I don’t want to be office Punk while I’m active main roster wrestler Punk. Those things do not mix. You can not try to tell somebody else what to do while you are essentially booked in a certain position on the show, in my opinion.
I’m stoked being a wrestler and until I hang my boots up, I’m going to be stoked being a wrestler. I want to do the best I can with the group I have, which are some supremely talented, genius minds for the wrestling business.”
• “WWE seems like a parody of wrestling at times” – Top AEW Star
At Starrcast during All In: Texas weekend, Bryan Danielson praised the product that AEW has put out in recent months:
“I haven’t had much to do much of anything to do with creative in AEW for a while, but I think the AEW shows for the last several months have just been incredible. I watch the product every week at home and I just think that the people that are, the wrestlers, the people involved in the creative, everybody’s doing just such a great job.
Listen, I’m not afraid to be critical of a creative process. When I was in WWE I would say like, ‘okay sometimes this feels like a parody of wrestling to me.’ I wrote that in my book that was put out by WWE. WWE seems like a parody of wrestling to me at times. I thought the last several months of AEW have been really good.”
