AEW announced the signing of former ROH World Champion Jay Lethal on last night’s (November 13) AEW Full Gear pay-per-view following the recent news of ROH not renewing any of their wrestlers’ contracts.
CM Punk, who is one of the top names in the history of ROH, gave his thoughts on ROH going on hiatus on the Full Gear post-show media scrum, and spoke about one particular ROH star he would like to see in AEW.
Punk said:
“I mean, I think it sucks that the place is going to go out of business and people are going to lose their jobs. I’d like to see Brody King here. Man, there’s so much talent there. There’s so much talent here. I’m sure you’re going to see — I didn’t even know Lethal was here until it happened. I’m sure you’re going to see different people. It’s an exciting time.”
Punk wrestled Eddie Kingston on last night’s pay-per-view, a match which AEW President Tony Khan drew similarities to the famous Rock vs Hulk Hogan match from WrestleMania X8.
