Top AEW Star Says You’d ‘Be A Fool’ To Not Want To Work With CM Punk

AEW

The CM Punk and AEW saga is seemingly set to come to an end this Saturday, when Punk makes his return to AEW after nine months away on the debut episode of Collision.

Punk is set to team with FTR to take on Samoa Joe and Bullet Club Gold’s Jay White and Juice Robinson.

Ahead of Punk’s return, former AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter spoke to Alistair McGeorge of the UK Metro, where she spoke about her experiences with Punk.

She said:

“From my experience with him, he was always very, very pleasant. Very helpful, and I always had really great conversations with him about wrestling. He’s a wealth of knowledge because he’s been in the business for so long, and he’s got extensive experience. You’d kind of be a fool not to want to pick his brain and not want to work with the guy. He knows what he’s doing!

“He was one of the most gripping performers in professional wrestling. The Summer of Punk, all of that, everyone was so into it and there was a reason why he was the most popular wrestler. To be honest, I would say he’s still incredibly popular now, regardless of the All Out stuff and the drama. He’s still a big name and he’s still wanted in the business. You know what? It’s not my company. I can’t speak for everybody, but I wouldn’t have an issue with it. If it’s gonna be good for the company, then I’m all for it. If it’s gonna put butts in seats, if it’s gonna get people to watch, then absolutely!”

Punk’s return hasn’t come with one last piece of backstage controversy in the company, which you can read more about here.

Jamie is currently out of action due to injury, which led to her losing the AEW Women’s World Championship to Toni Storm back at AEW Double or Nothing.
