Punk physically cringing everytime they sang cult of personality had me dying 💀💀😭

[@suxarchives]

It is cringey.

[@henrychen8779]

@@suxarchivesthat’s the point doofus

[@ThePc-DjHub]

Not as cringe as Ripley and punk singing their own themes to the ring ​@@suxarchives

[@suxarchives]

@@ThePc-DjHub they are proud they have their own song compare to you, you have nothing that's cringey.

[@wolfmode0061]

​@@suxarchives I have my own song. It goes da-nanana, da-nanana, da-nanana, bang boom pow! 🎶 I think it in my head whenever I walk around! 😤

This is the nerdy comic book kid, hanging with the jocks lol

“Beat everybody. Win all the belts. Make all the money.” Ah, the Bob Holly strategy.

[@adamschroeder5842]

It's interesting how reserved CM Punk is in the real world but in kayfabe he's the most charismatic guy on the roster.

[@Fall2Caine]

It's always interesting to see it. It just feels so much more natural for him than some of the other guys who blend who they are and who their persona is.

[@franccoeurguy4735]

Cena the most

[@SupernintendoChalmers0]

Same with Austin. Dude is so chill and laid back in interviews.

[@aidanbagwell7879]

29:30 that's the guy from the team that took a dump in their VIP lounge on a college game day. It stunk so bad the stadium staff had to scrub down the walls 😂

[@JeffPruitt-c7x]

Sounds like Deandre Hopkins hotel room at the Indianapolis NFL scouting combine

[@alperen_tunceli]

While they winked each other, Punk is just blinking both of his eyes fast... xD

[@PositivelySunshine]

I love these WWE interviews in the lead up to the major events! Stephanie McMahon was amazing yesterday, Punk amazing today. HHH, Rhea Ripley, and Cody killed it before Mania. I hope this is something that continues. Pat gets people to be comfortable so quick, it’s fun to see them outside of the normal WWE universe

[@kenjames22]

19:36 , Corny gets a shoutout!

[@06kiely]

8:41 Is such a bears fan answer. Love it

[@Tjseabolt]

You could tell punk hated every time they sang his song lol

[@cobramystic_gaming1505]

I loved when he played with the bobblehead

[@LEON-hy7it]

39 chops was hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@DatBoiChris420]

One thing Punk is always gonna do is Shout out the mad genius Jim Cornette

[@Smilesb2801]

33:52 “everybody’s happy here this is great 🛎️”

[@willable4JC]

Definitely a shot at All Friends Wrestling 😂

[@TheBiggz808]

What an interview!! Good luck Punk!!

[@ZakReligiz]

I would have laughed if Pat Mcafee started singing This Fire Burns to CM Punk 🤣🤣🤣

[@cobeidonovan75]

FINALLY. Been waiting for this to happen

[@Surgedurango]

CM punk always gives us great interviews. Made respect

[@LateNightwithStudBuyers]

manufactured deference ✊

[@Surgedurango]

Pat needs to bring the Pepsi for the next interview with Punk 26:20

I originally thought Cena. Now I believe punk

[@RyanCT89]

Punk definitely going over.

[@thegreatmrt]

It would be great to see a punk vs Cena stared staredown or moment for old times sake

[@TheConeyShow]

"Damn skunk is back again!" 😂😂

[@BorisGreya34]

The greatest to ever do it

[@springmillexotics7871]

Idc what anyone says, I'm glad Punk is back home.

[@G_GO0NO]

Pat if your in the Rumble this year dont puss out and get in there!!

[@0chakra]

The singing fried me😂😂

[@bubbabear244]

9:16 Decatur Staleys reference, $100 was what George Halas paid to get that team to become the Chicago Bears.

[@nolanlinaberry9304]

I'm surpised no one brought up HEELS

[@patrickjspoon]

Guess I'll have to buy his book to hear about AEW

[@N.U.R_Music]

Just watch his MMA hour interview with Ariel Helwani

25:22 - i lost it lmao...

[@Thecultofwrestling]

Bring punk back

[@Raad187KO]

A CM Book would be a good read 📚

[@Gothlova]

Well that's no fun, I love tagging him in BlackHawks suck comments 🤣

[@ianfrase1281]

I would love to see Cena vs Punk as the last two standing in the men’s Rumble then Cena throw Punk over the top rope & go to Mania & break Flair’s record

[@TheMarc388]

7:10 LOL

[@iFREDDYx22]

ABSOLUTE DAWG

41:38 every day above ground is a good day

[@N_DAnimationEnthusiast]

36:08 Punk forgot the promo he did on Smackdown where he actually did acknowledge him. Lolol. 36:18 Just like at WarGames.

[@WesTheMarketer]

Pat should’ve asked Punk about the Jaguars.

[@michaelpalma6346]

I see alot of people saying Roman is going to win this rumble but I don’t, he was just recently champ for like 6 years in a row. To me the only 3 possible/right choices to win is Punk, Zayn, or Jay.

[@Abilesimo]

BEST IN THE WORLD! CM Punk!

[@Rubyroo1610]

40:53 shes so returning

[@nikatnite412]

Look in my eyes, what do you see…Royal Rumble champ, in Indddy!

[@benmecha01]

NFL offseason = nonstop wrestling segments

[@dankbuds4203]

Go win that rumble punk 💯

[@Thewickedjon]

punk vs drew was such a good program, punk vs seth was also amazing, although I believe seth should have won that match, and set the stage for a re-match. also , please stop kicking out of finishers, thats why they're called "finishers" its because they "finish" the match. Thank you!

[@RonnyCarlton]

Wrestlers are a franchise

[@minthu4515]

“This guy never invites me on his show”

Pat we need you to vs adam Cole on AEW 😊

[@antonioarriaga2079]

Why did John Cena post him?

[@aidanbagwell7879]

Prob thanking him for doing 90% of the promo for the rumble

[@djphilbinbounce]

Boys please stop singing Cult of Personality to him like that it just reminds me of that old woman singing Happy Birthday to Junior on The Sopranos. Other than that, great interview ha ha.

[@younmoneybaby15]

And the “What” chance

[@samwilson6316]

I low key wanted AJ Lee to return and win the womens rumble...instead Charlotte did smh...Everyones mind wouldve been blown if AJ Lee won, and Punk won.

Why punk looks like uncomfortable here than when hes in ariel helwani show

[@williamtinay6664]

He’s known Ariel for years. Ariel used to do yearly interviews at Punk’s house. Probably has only known Pat since he came back .

[@justinleecortez]

He does but it looks like as the interview went along he began to feel comfortable

[@watersandblue6001]

Ariel and Punk are close.

[@matthewsmith2056]

Is it just me or did he seem combative towards Pat??

[@HassanZamir00]

[@AK47Gang100]

Dude that accent pat did when he was talking about Rey was crazy. Sounds nothing like him. Literally just did the most stereotypical Mexican voice he could.

I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimony on CNBC news last week.

I've followed many traders over the years,but none have been as consistently accurate as Brisa.

Has nothing to do with this video, but I think I followed you because you were breaking the mainstream norm and now all I see is a corporate puppet. Hopefully you get your soul back and start actually speaking your mind.
