Tonight’s the night. CM Punk is set to wrestle his first match in 7 years when he faces Darby Allin at All Out, and it’s also rumored that Daniel Bryan could be making his AEW debut tonight.
Punk recently appeared on Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette, and he once again dropped another teaser for Daniel Bryan’s debut when he talked about potential tag team partners he could work with.
“It’s a lame answer but it’s everybody. It really is. I think the way AEW’s structured, CM Punk couldn’t come in and immediately start wrestling Kenny Omega. They have wins and loss records. I’m on the fence about it. I get it, but it’s hard to maintain simply because they have the YouTube shows I think, which I think the majority of the records, their matches and stuff (come from). It kind of reminds me of Goldberg in WCW where one Nitro he’d be 10-0, and then on the next Nitro he’d be like 25-0. And I’d be like ‘wait a second, this guy wrestled twice a day for a week? What is going on?’
The former WWE Champion went on to say that talents in AEW do not have creative control, but they are allowed to give input. He also continued to tease Daniel Bryan’s AEW debut.
“Based on my experience thus far, I don’t think guys are doing whatever they want, but everybody certainly some sort of an input and everybody certainly has a direct line to Tony. And he’s the guy who says yes or no,” Punk said. “I think a guy like me, Christian, maybe a guy like Daniel Bryan if, if (he comes in), I think lead by example is the key there. I think it’s not ‘hey guys, this is way to do it,’ it’s ‘hey guys, there’s no one way to do it. But in my experience, I think maybe this could be the best way to do it. But what do you think?’
“It’s how I handled it with Sting. Because there’s definitely a respect and I’m not going to tell Sting ‘hey this is what I think.’ We literally sat there back and forth going ‘what do you think?’ ‘No what do you think?’ ‘No you tell me.’ ‘No you tell me.’ ‘Oh, that’s a really good idea!’ And it grows from there.”
