CM Punk has never been afraid to share his opinions and while asked on SportsNation about which AEW talents impressed him, he had this to say:
"There's so many young guys I think the future of AEW is in such good hands. Most of the younger guys that we have that we're gonna wind up spotlighting in the next five years or so are in their early 20s. I mean, Britt Baker. God, Hook, I mean, everybody seems to love Hook. Guys had one match, you know what I mean? I just think we take our time with our talents, and AEW as a whole is still a baby, two years old. And we're going to be moving to TBS in the new year. That's a big step. And just taking time and fostering the new talents instead of just kind of throwing them out there and having a sink or swim attitude helps," - CM Punk responded
WWE has made a name for themselves in poorly booking young talent before releasing them when they don't land with fans. CM Punk is clearly one of the latest people to note this. However, in a less negative tone, Punk is optimistic about all the young and upcoming talent in AEW who haven't even hit 30 yet.
