Speaking with Bill Pritchard of WrestleZone, Samoa Joe talked about his history with CM Punk.
Their most recent match was on the July 8th episode of AEW Collision where he lost to Punk in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament semi-finals.
“I think it speaks generally to just how much people enjoy me punching Punk in the face. It’s kind of the overwhelming motivation for most people to tune into the match. I just have a real good habit of smashing it, a lot of different angles. I give you a lot of different looks. Most people only give you one or two looks. I’ll go for the jaw, I’ll go for the temple, I’ll lump him up. I think kind of based on that, really, is where it kind of boils down to. He has a very punchable face, and I’m very good at punching it. You put those two massive dynamic things together, people are bound to want to tune in and see what’s gonna happen,” Joe said.
