In an exclusive discussion with SEScoops, previous WWE Superstar, Donovan Dijak, brought back memories of the tweet he posted in relation to the surprising backstage visit of CM Punk during WWE RAW in April 2023. Interestingly, CM Punk, known as the Second City Saint, was still under AEW’s contract during that period.
Here are some notable parts from the podcast:
In regards to the social media uproar about CM Punk’s appearance in April 2023, Donovan Dijak said, “There was a massive outpouring; a massive buzz, with everyone saying, ‘He shouldn’t be on RAW. He’s contracted with AEW. No one cared or even mentioned the fact that my close friends too were backstage at Raw. I understand that CM Punk is a colossal star, a former WWE Champion, and his appearance is significant.”
Expressing his concerns about unnoticed friends on Raw, Dijak commented, “I couldn’t just sit back and watch my friends being overlooked and fear their forthcoming release along with other pessimistic predictions. I love these people and want them to succeed. Therefore, I decided to use the situation to their advantage, posted something about it, which may not have been the wisest thing I’ve ever done. But it was sincere and represented my feelings at that moment.”
Addressing his rapport with Punk, Dijak revealed, “I have met CM Punk, and our relationship is pretty solid.”
Below is the Twitter post made by Donovan Dijak on April 24, 2023:
