CM Punk Comments On Using ROH Theme At AEW Revolution

An emotional Punk speaks

CM Punk called back to his Ring Of Honor run and past Dog Collar matches against Raven and Jimmy Rave at AEW Revolution as he made his way to the ring using his ROH theme - AFI's 'Miseria Cantare' - while wearing his old ring gear.

Punk would ultimately defeat MJF in their Dog Collar Match and he admitted in the AEW Revolution media scrum following the contest that it was "pretty important" for him to use his old ROH theme before he discussed Tony Khan owning ROH's video library following his recent acquisition of the promotion. 

"It was pretty important. I loved ROH so much. I can't explain how happy I am that my footage is in good hands. It's good to know that it's in the hands of somebody that will treat it well. I literally feel that my baby is in somebody's hands that I know will raise the child the right way and do good things with it and it won't get made into some tab on a sh*tty confusing app that is hard to navigate and the boys don't get paid anything off it. It's very good," Punk began.

"To pay homage to myself, I didn't get to do this for seven years, this didn't exist for seven years for me. Obviously, the truth is, I love professional wrestling very much. To come back and to be able to, for six months, not just do whatever the f*ck you want, it's doing whatever the f*ck you want and being cocky enough to know that your way is, not the right way, there is never one right way, but it's f*cking good," he continued.

"To have somebody that listens to you and have somebody that can take an idea and make it even better and to have an open dialogue. Not just with [Tony Khan], but with other people in the locker room. It's great that you don't have to beat your head against the wall and explain why your ideas are sh*tty and why, I don't care who you think you are, you don't know what you're doing. It's nice. Everything is just so great."
