— The Southtown Star interviewed CM Punk about his appearance at the Chicago Comic Con this weekend. When asked if he would have any confrontations with John Cena, he stated the following…
“You shouldn’t be worried; you should be hoping for one! Actually, we’re at the con on different days. You can probably expect some trash talking, though. I admire just about anybody for various reasons. Everyone has traits that I admire. You’ve got to admire John [Cena] for all the work he does with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, though. The WWE likes to broadcast his involvement with Make-A-Wish, and they should. I know how many of their events I do and how many John does, and there is no comparison.
