You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On why CM Punk is checking his watch: [He’s checking his watch during his entrance] so he’ll have it down to the minute when he gets fired. I hope for the WWE and for Paul [Levesque] that it’s successful as f**k and I hope for [Punk] it is.”
On how these situations continue to happen to Punk: “Life goes on and you keep getting in these situations, at times I’ll bet he’s looked in retrospect like, ‘Well, that cost me $5 million,’ and you’re not smoking a little cannabis to f**king take the edge off or not have a glass of wine. I think it’s very difficult.”
On what happened to Punk in AEW: “He still had an episode in AEW.”
