CM Punk’s new movie, 'Girl on the Third Floor', will be released in theaters, on October 25th, 2019.

The horror movie has been garnering headlines in the pro wrestling world, primarily owing to the Pro Wrestling icon and Chicago’s own CM Punk starring in it.

CM Punk weighed in with his views on various topics

CM Punk explained that working live TV shows and events for WWE every day of the week is quite a high-pressure job.

In comparison to that, acting in a movie is a tad different, with multiple takes, angles, etc. He added that acting comes with its own set of challenges, but it was a lot of fun.

Furthermore, in response to a question regarding whether he watches AEW, Punk stated –

I do not. I don't watch wrestling.

Moreover, Punk elucidated that he hopes AEW and its performers are successful and that the emergence of AEW gives pro wrestlers an alternative as regards places to work outside WWE.
