CM PUNK COMMENTS ON WHERE HE WILL BE NEXT FRIDAY

CM Punk did a special interview with the Sunday Nights Main Event podcast, where he talked about his role in the show Heels for Starz.  Punk talks about originally reading for the lead role in the series, choreographing matches with Luke Hawkx, inspiration from his days in the ring for his character, and whether he watches current wrestling.

When asked about the possibility of appearing at the United Center on the second episode of AEW Rampage Brooks proceeded to check his calendar stating that he would be at a screening of episode three of Heels in Chicago at an AMC theater. 

Punk was asked about Darby Allin he put over the former TNT Champion and his ability to dive saying everyone else needs to stop doing it because no one does it as good as Allin. The former WWE Champion was asked about the references made to the Best in the World and slyly said that "that's Bryan," referencing Bryan Danielson.

Punk states that even though his latest role puts them back in the wrestling world, he is focused on being an actor.  Punk was asked why he didn't join AEW when first approached by Tony Khan, he stated that over the years in wrestling you hear plenty of stories of big money players starting their own promotions and he just didn't want to have anything to do with it.

When asked about recent releases, Punk states that he's been out of the loop and doesn't know who exactly has been released, but it may be a blessing in disguise.  It sucks but it may be the best thing that happened to them
