CM Punk Talks Turning Heel, Being on SmackDown, Winning MITB, More

[Kizza]

- 2009 Money in the Bank winner CM Punk recently spoke with The Sun out of the UK. Here are some highlights:

How do you feel about the move to Smackdown?

I’m excited. I’ve done the ECW thing, won the titles there. Did the Raw thing and won all the titles there. Might as well go over to Smackdown and see what happens!

We loved the Money in the Bank match, but we had it down to Christian or Kofi to win.

I’ll be honest, I thought Shelton was going to win.

When did you find out it was you?

Not long before. They keep things pretty hush hush, you find out on a need to know basis.

Is there a chance we could see a heel CM Punk any time in the near future?

If it was up to me, then yes, absolutely. Do I think WWE is ready for a heel CM Punk? No, I don’t. I don’t see it happening any time soon. But man would that be fun.

Did it mean a lot to you that when you were world champion that the man holding the TNA title was Samoa Joe, with the history you two have had?

Me and Joe have talked about this, and I get that question a lot. Joe’s wife actually asked us, we were sitting around at Thanksgiving dinner, and she said: “It’s crazy, did you ever both think you’d be world champions in different companies?”

We both looked at either other and went “Yep!” It may sound egotistical, but we knew we were that good.

We were two of the craziest most driven people you’ve ever seen in your entire life. I see something and go after it.

It looks like even Punk knows who should have won MITB. >_>

Anyway, it was a really cool moment for ROH fans when the top 2 World Champs were homegrown talent from there. Especially those 2 who faced each other in some of the greatest matches ever.

As far as heel turn goes, well, bring back an invisible mic and he'll be fine.

Fuck, I wanted to post this
Punk as heel would be awesome, but it's not a priority now. Solidifying him in the main event is. And after the momentum he's created lately, especially this week on SD, face is the best thing for him.
