Drew McIntyre Directly Comments On CM Punk Joining AEW

Two-time WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has commented on CM Punk making his AEW debut this past Friday and joining the promotion.

Punk’s return was one of the biggest in the history of wrestling, and while the likes of Roman Reigns may have played it down, Drew McIntyre took a different approach.

Speaking with Pro Wrestling Bits, McIntyre said:

“If anything, it’s good for wrestling. That’s what I’m all about. I was outside the company between 2014 to 2017, working in the independents and with IMPACT, and just trying to make wrestling a healthier, better place, and it’s healthy right now. It’s an incredible place. Obviously, WWE is still at the top and leading the charge, and anything that can make it better, I’m all about. So, yeah, it makes a positive difference. It gets a thumbs up from me.”

The interview actually took place before Punk debuted, so when McIntyre commented on it, Punk joining AEW still wasn’t actually official, but we all know how blatant AEW was with its clues.

McIntyre recently beat Jinder Mahal at SummerSlam this past Saturday and then teamed with Damian Priest to beat Sheamus and Bobby Lashley on Raw.

Punk will appear on tonight’s AEW Dynamite and make his in-ring return on September 5 at All Out against Darby Allin.
