As many of you know by now, WWE Superstar CM Punk wrestled in WWE for the first time in nearly 10 years at the WWE Holiday Tour event at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 26.
On the most recent episode of his “Oh You Didn’t Know ….” podcast, WWE’s SVP of Live Events commented on CM Punk’s return to MSG, how much he moves the needle at the events he appears at, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On CM Punk returning to the ring at MSG: “I couldn’t be happier with the outcome [of the show], couldn’t be happier with the Punk agreeing to be there, and being there is a huge thing. He’s going to be in LA also. Business is booming, and we added him to the ticket, and the ticket got more valuable. That’s just the truth man.”
On how CM Punk moves the needle: “When you talk about truth, and we talked about it on here before about moving the needle, I watched it move once again. By adding his name to something – and dare I say I don’t know that I’ve seen such since I’ve worked in this in this capacity – I saw the needle move, man … [The recent trip to MSG] is the largest domestic non-televised wrestling event in the history of America. I’m 99% sure, that’s a fact.”
