CM Punk being ‘stuck in his ways’ isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it shows conviction, according to WWE Hall of Famer and AEW’s own Mark Henry.
Speaking on “Hall of Fame,” Henry addressed Punk’s issues with talent such as ‘Hangman’ Adam Page and Jack Perry that would ultimately lead to his AEW exit. He said,
“I feel like Punk is a lot like some of the people in sports that I know. The people in sports hate the fact that college football and college students are getting paid money now. It’s an old school mentality and the old school mentality rubs young people the wrong way.
“Some people are stuck in their ways, Book, and Punk is stuck in his ways and that’s not a knock. I like conviction, I like somebody that can stand to their guns and they can debate with you on the fact that, ‘You know what, this is why sometimes being old will save your life because I know better. I experienced it, I went through the fire.’ I feel like Punk’s delivery of some of that conviction fell on deaf ears.”
While some references on WWE TV have had fans convinced that a CM Punk return is coming, the ex-AEW star and his former employer are not in negotiations at this time.
