Ace Steel is pleased to see CM Punk back in WWE as he believes the Best in the World has something to prove now that he has returned.
On a recent edition of the “Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling” podcast, Steel addressed Punk’s return to WWE after close to a decade away. He said,
“I wanted to see [Punk] make that run to WrestleMania to the point where I kept thinking ‘Should I go?’ I love watching wrestling from home because I don’t have to see people bouncing in and out of me or whatever. I’m sure I would’ve had great seats, a great viewing platform there, but yeah, just a killer [that Punk is missing the event now].
“All I can think about is the comeback is going to be even more special. We have a nice reason for it happening. We have Drew McIntyre taking credit for it in such a heel storyline, elevating Drew McIntyre to this dirty son of a b**** that prayed for you to get hurt. What a line.
“[Punk] now has a dragon to slay when he comes back, like ‘I’m coming for you. I’m coming for your head.’ So when the time is right, the place is just going to unload.”
While Punk is injured and will miss competing at WrestleMania 40, it is believed that he could have a role at the show that’ll take place this April in Philadelphia, PA.
The Best in the World is being advertised for the April 1, episode of WWE Monday Night RAW which will be the go-home episode of RAW before WrestleMania 40.
