Ex-AEW Star Opens Up About Relationship With CM Punk

AEW

Fuego Del Sol has opened up about his relationship with CM Punk during their time together in AEW together.

He announced his departure from AEW in June 2023, revealing that his time there would end on July 1.

Since his departure, he has been vlogging on his YouTube channel and has spoken about his relationship with CM Punk on a recent episode, saying:

“Pepsi Phil, as some call him, from his first day in AEW, he always spoke to me. He always made time for me, he always was kind to me.

“I don’t know how everyone else feels about Punk. I try to never let someone else’s opinion of someone distract me from how they treated me. I try to figure out, how do they treat me? Do they treat me well?

“When I got hurt and had a foot injury, he had a similar foot injury the year before, and he reached out to me when he did not have to.

“He gave me advice. He let me vent when I was in a dark place during my injury. And I will forever be grateful and thankful to him for that.

“He did not have to reach out to me and talk to me as much as he did. So he will always be a friend in my book.

“I like CM Punk. I hope the best for him in whatever he decides to do next.

“Hate that things couldn’t work out for him in professional wrestling, but the fact that he treated me so well means a lot to me.

“I know some people are not gonna like this opinion of him, but he was good to me, and if you’re good to me, I’ll forever be good to you.

“Big thanks to CM Punk.”
