WWE Exec Declares CM Punk A Needle Mover

WWE

A WWE executive has declared that CM Punk has in fact already been a needle mover in WWE as evidenced by his recent live show appearances.

On his Oh You Didn’t Know YouTube live, Brian James (fka Road Dogg Jesse James) spoke about the impact of CM Punk joining the roster.

Noting that the addition of CM Punk to the recent WWE Holiday Live tour events had a tangible impact, James declared that CM Punk was indeed, a needle mover.

James said:

“I couldn’t be happier with the outcome [of the show], couldn’t be happier with the Punk agreeing to be there, and being there is a huge thing,”

“He’s going to be in LA also. Business is booming, and we added him to the ticket, and the ticket got more valuable. That’s just the truth man.

“When you talk about truth, and we talked about it on here before about moving the needle, I watched it move once again.

“By adding his name to something – and dare I say I don’t know that I’ve seen such since I’ve worked in this in this capacity – I saw the needle move, man …

“[The recent trip to MSG] is the largest domestic non-televised wrestling event in the history of America. I’m 99% sure, that’s a fact.”

CM Punk appeared at the Los Angeles WWE event at the KIA Forum where he won in a match over Dominik Mysterio after previously besting him at Madison Square Garden.

Looking forward to 2024, what is next for CM Punk has been made relatively clear by the star himself.

He plans to win the Royal Rumble, go on to main event WrestleMania where he notes is when his story starts, not finishes.
