There’s no doubt that The Straight Edge Superstar is touted as one of the best, if not the best, promo cutters in pro wrestling today. He displayed the same when he spoke about Jon Moxley’s absence, citing the latter’s decision to enter an inpatient alcohol treatment programme.
Punk asked the AEW universe to support Mox instead of criticizing him. The former WWE Superstar’s heartfelt promo was appreciated by wrestling fans, including a veteran like Jim Cornette.
While speaking on The Experience podcast, the wrestling manager stated that CM Punk puts emotions and naturalness into his promos, which appear so ‘real.’ Cornette added that no wrestler other than Punk could have delivered that particular speech:
Jim Cornette believes The Second City Saint’s promo made AEW’s Jon Moxley over with fans in a way the latter couldn’t do himself. The wrestling manager said no one from WWE, aside from Heyman, can speak from their heart or do any such segment:
CM Punk will collide with Eddie Kingston at AEW Full Gear
CM Punk has finally gotten involved in a noteworthy feud that has gotten wrestling fans talking. The Straight Edge Superstar will square off against Eddie Kingston for the first time at AEW Full Gear
Both men exchanged a war of words during last week’s Rampage, which ended with a mini-brawl. The feud is likely to get more intensified as the marquee pay-per-view fast approaches.
