#5 WWE Hall of Famer gives his verdict on CM Punk possibly joining AEW
WWE legend Booker T has expressed his concerns regarding CM Punk possibly returning to professional wrestling after almost seven years.
Die-hard wrestling fans have been buzzing over social media ever since the news surfaced regarding CM Punk negotiating to make a comeback to the wrestling business, with AEW as his most preferable choice. The given rumors started making sense when Living Colour followed AEW on both Twitter and Instagram.
Some people must not be aware that Living Colour’s Cult of Personality was the theme song of CM Punk in WWE and UFC. The mere information has sparked discussions among the wrestling section of the world.
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has also commented on the same. Appearing on a recent episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, Booker T stated that Punk hasn't stepped inside the wrestling ring in over seven years, which could come as a barricade for him to adapt to the current atmosphere. The WWE legend also added that CM Punk should join the promotion that values his credibility:
“That’s where I come from with the CM Punk thing, can he go out there and still do it? Yes, but has the game changed tremendously in the last 7 years? Yes, I think so. I think the best place for CM Punk is the place that wants him," Booker said. "The place that wants him the most. I’m serious, that’s the way I look at that thing right there. CM Punk has been away from the WWE for quite some time, he didn’t leave on the greatest of terms or anything like that. Will he be welcomed back if he were to come back? I’m sure but is AEW a softer landing spot, maybe something new and a fresh start? Perhaps yeah. I think the place that wants him the most is the place where CM Punk needs to be"
The ongoing heavy discussion about CM Punk suggests that fans will finally see the former WWE superstar step foot inside the squared circle again.
