Former WWE star CM Punk was recently interviewed by “Kevin in the Mornings with Allie & Jensen” to promote his movie, Girl On The Third Floor, which hits Netflix this week. During the interview, Punk discussed several professional wrestling topics.
Here are the highlights:
Crediting Renee Young for getting him on WWE Backstage:
All wrestling fans, if they’re stoked that I’m in this capacity on this show, they owe a debt of gratitude to [Renee]. I don’t think it would have happened if it wasn’t for her. I was talking to Fox for a very long time. They immediately got Renee on board. Renee and I were having conversations every day.
WWE Backstage being better for Young than commentary:
[Backstage] is a loose show where she gets to still be in the wrestling space. Nobody is in her ear yelling at her, and we are still working on trying to make the show what we envisioned it to be. I think she’s a great voice for the whole space of wrestling. She gets it, and that’s what she excels at. Hosting, man she’s great at it. She can control me.
If he could wrestle for AEW and stay on WWE Backstage:
I think if I was wrestling for AEW, I’m sure Fox would be like, ‘well, it was fun while it lasted.’ I guess technically [I could]. Technically I could do that yeah, but I’m sure Fox would be like, ‘well?’
