JR Wants CM Punk In AEW

If rumors are true the self-proclaimed “Best In The World” Cm Punk will be debuting for AEW sometime in the near future. Fans have been hype since the news broke, and another person whos excited is AEW’s veteran commentator Jim Ross.

On a recent episode of his Grilling JR podcast, Ross said that he hopes Cm Punk becomes a member of the AEW roster. we previously reported that news had broken of Cm Punk signing with AEW after a hiatus of almost 9 years. Ross said that punk has helped contribute to many wrestlers in the business, and Ross knows he would do the same with AEW talent.

“I hope we sign him and hope he’s one of our guys. Cm Punk is a treasure and he contributed a lot to a lot of guys, and he’s willing to share his knowledge and expertise to other talents. He’s placed it forward and has no problem doing so. That’s my take on him. Anybody who signs Cm Punk for limited engagements or in our company, We’re only working one day a week. This is becoming elementary. Why do people want to come to AEW? because they can have a life. They can create to their own creative. They can create their own storylines and own promo materials. It’s a way to express yourself creatively. If we can sign Cm Punk to our roster, it’s a great get. I hope that we do some point in time sooner than later. He’s just a huge player in the big picture. Am I worried the layoff will affect his work? We know it’s gonna affect his work to some degree because he’s eight years older. He’s in his 40s, but that doesn’t seem to matter in today’s wrestling business, especially when you have a schedule like ours.”

AEW has not made it official yet, but usually, where there’s smoke there’s fire.
