CM Punk Tells Rasslin Who He Thinks is the Best Wrestler in the World

We got CM Punk in studio and he broke down who he thinks is the best in the world, wrestling for AEW and being in NY for AEW Dynamite Grand Slam. On top of that, he talks about his giant "pop," all the talent he's looking forward to working with and debuting closely to Bryan Danielson.

[@stepkickking9868]

To paraphrase a comment from an AEW video: “It’s not the fact that CM Punk is wrestling again. It’s the fact that CM Punk is *happy* again”. Punk was my childhood hero, and I’m elated for him. I’ve always supported and respected him, and to see him smiling again is just great. That’s my GOAT right there 🐐

[@Green_Ranger05]

[@ChiseledAdonis]

I was in the arena for AEW Grand slam & let me tell you... The POP that he got reminded me so much of the same one that Austin got at Raw 25. The sound was deafening. That program wasn't only a victory for AEW but it was a victory for professional wrestling!

Definition of AEW gets it: WWE signed everybody that had some little buzz in the indies just before AEW started, so they had to scratch really hard on the surface to build a roster beyond the obvious Elite, Jericho, Moxley, Pac, etc. And AEW still managed to find the 4 pillars of its future: MJF, Darby Allin, Jungle Boy and Sammy Guevara, they knew that, so from the beginning they have never stopped building them for those 2 plus years. I love to see Punk so excited about wrestling all the young guys.

Brian Pillman Jr will be bigger than all 4 of them

[@victorarroyo5401]

@@JsinUnsinsored Nah. I don't think so tbh. Those 4 are much better wrestlers and they are younger than him or at the same age. Plus they have much more charisma than him imo. If he would have entered the business a little bit earlier maybe. I don't see him as a main eventer like I see the other 4.

@@victorarroyo5401 I don’t think any of those guys are main eventers.. maybe MJF

@@victorarroyo5401 getting put in the main event and being a main eventer are two different things.. Like last night soho was in the main event and Baker is a main eventer

As far as getting into womens wrestling for the first time, that original TNA knockouts division with Kong and Gail and the beautiful people and ODB ect was the best, AEW's roster has those similar vibes, it ain't just a bunch of magazine swimsuit models like WWE, everyone's different and everyone can talk and wrestle, it's the best womens wrestling in a long time.

[@linewalker]

There were The Beautiful People, Hamada, Roxie, Sarita, many different styles and stars! Tara and Mickie James in the very first women's cage match mainevent too!

[@mupo1811]

None of this has aged well.

[@Type1DomoGuy]

I would love to see Punk and Bryan as a tag team or Hell Punk as leader of Dark Order and make up with Colt.

[@steel.oneill]

🤦‍♂️

[@linewalker]

Tay Conti, Anna Jay, Johnny Hungy and on and on, potential top stars in AEW and wrestling in general!

[@P420Bear]

I can't believe he likes that movie. 😁, I thought I was the only person who likes that movie. Never thought I had anything in common with CM Punk, I digress! Carry on wayward soul.

[@yesway980]

Seriously? You thought you were the only person who likes 'The Thing'? Where the hell have you been? Antarctica?
