CM Punk Makes Dynamite Debut In Milwaukee
As we settle back in from the break, the commentators talk about the memorable AEW debut of CM Punk at last Friday night’s Rampage, which we see some footage of.
Now J.R. sends it down to Tony Schiavone who introduces “The Best in the World” himself, CM Punk. His theme hits and out he comes in the city he represented in MMA, the home of Roufusport.
He soaks in the moment as he settles into the ring and his music dies down. Schiavone introduces him and asks him a question but due to the loud CM Punk chants, Punk’s response was simply to tell Schiavone that he can’t hear him. He and Tony laugh and the fans loudly chant his name again.
Schiavone asks him again what brought him back out of retirement. He lists Penta, Fenix, Pillman Jr. and Jungle Boy, but said Darby Allin is up first. He talks to the camera about Darby being reckless like he wants to end himself.
He looks at him and the others in AEW and he asks himself, can CM Punk still go? Does he still have what it takes? Can he still be the “Best in the World” and if the answer is yes, it starts with Darby Allin because when he looks at Darby he sees someone who’d be his favorite wrestler if he were 15 years old.
Punk goes on to give more praise to Darby and says if he’s gonna answer these questions than that’s the guy to do it against. The fans break out in a Yes! chant. He says that’s someone else’s gimmick and tells the fans they might just need to be a little more patient. They go nuts knowing he’s alluding to Daniel Bryan. He says 9/5 proves himself right when he beats Darby. He blows a kiss to his wife at home, April. His theme hits again to end the segment.
