On AEW:

“I don’t root against them. I think it’s easy to be able to say like, ‘Oh, can’t wait until something bad happens to them.’ But the reality is, there’s a lot of people backstage that earn a paycheck. I still have friends that work there, so it’s not like I’m hoping somebody loses their job or everybody loses their job or something like that. It’s just — I look at it like it’s just not the same business that I’m in. And if you’re trying to get paid and you can go there, go get paid. Congratulations.”

On the All In footage being shown:

“It’s kind of like — I have to wrestle Drew McIntyre, right? Just this garbage person that I don’t want in my life. But this is the fight game, it’s the sh*t talk business. It’s just like fighting in the UFC. You see these guys ripping at each other, ugly press conferences, getting personal. And it’s just like, I don’t necessarily enjoy that energy. But the payoff is, I get to go in a ring and I get to blacken eyes and chip teeth and make Drew sob and do whatever else in my head that I hope to do to him.

“So it felt really ugly. But then I was just like — why? Showing that footage isn’t going to help them or hurt me, so I was just like whatever. Being the top draw in two different companies is pretty wild. Like, thanks guys.”

Very mature outlook from Punk

And I wouldn't be surprised if there is real life heat with Punk and Drew. But those can be the best angles if handled correctly

Spot on with this, makes for must see TV, Drew knew being in with Punk will make him a lot more well off and same with punk . I like this version of drew he's not boring anymore and this will be a banger. Could Rollins turn though? Makes for us as fans must see TV.

Roll on this Saturday. It's clobbering time and punk am gonna break your jaw was heel drew at his best since he turned back heel but booked much better. Gotta give the fans what we want.

I wouldn't call it mature at all because he still had to get his "it's not the same business" boomer bullshit comment. He still looks down at aew as not wrestling. Happy for he's happy but I see exactly what he's still doing n not fooling me for a second lol

He also had some comments on seeing Jesse Ventura at Raw this week on this podcast:

“I saw Governor Ventura the other day,. Absolutely 100 percent blown away. One of the coolest things that’s ever happened to me in my life is he tells me that he saw I came back — and he said, ‘The place must have changed. If Punk’s back, I’ll go back.'”

“I can’t take credit for it, but I think a guy like me being back I think speaks volumes. Obviously it does.”
