AEW’s CM Punk On His Reputation Of Being Difficult To Work With
“I think it’s because I played a bad guy on wrestling television for so long, that people confuse the two”
CM Punk’s return to AEW has been a rollercoaster, with many fans glad to see the Second City Saviour looking happy and healthy so far during his AEW run.
For a long time though, Punk had a reputation of being difficult to work with, and when asked about this reputation during a Heels promotional Q&A, Punk set the record straight:
“I was on television twice a week, 52 weeks a year for eight, nine, ten years? So I get that all the time,” Punk said. “And there’s this vicious rumour that I’m hard to deal with and I’m mean. I think it’s because I played a bad guy on wrestling television for so long, that people confuse the two. And yeah, there’s instances where I’m like ‘man I really did my job.’ And then there’s instances where I’m like ‘come on man. I’m out with my wife. Let me just eat.’”
Punk mentioned in his AEW return promo that he was ‘physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally’ healthier than during his stint in WWE, so perhaps ‘difficult’ Punk is a thing of the past.
