During his appearance on Tuesday’s episode of WWE Backstage on FS1, CM Punk gave his thoughts on the Intercontinental Title Match between AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan on last week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
Here is what he had to say:
“I couldn’t put my thumb on exactly why I didn’t feel like it was as great — like, on paper, I was excited to watch this, but I couldn’t, fully, one-hundred percent get into it,” Punk said. “Both guys, some of the best and I’ve watched them personally have great matches in VHW halls in the indies, sometimes in front of no people. I think what was missing was the people.
“It was a good match and I wanted it to be great. It was missing that something and I think that something was the fans and the electricity. The wrestlers feeding off that electricity and there being a third member of the dance group to kind of help it along. Structurally, fundamentally, I can’t say a bad thing about it, but there was just one little nagging thing. I’m watching it, I was just like, ‘What is it? What is it? What is it?’ I think it was the lack of people that hurt it for me.”
