During a recent interview with Metro UK, former AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter discussed CM Punk’s upcoming return on AEW Collision.
Punk returns to AEW this Saturday on the inaugural episode of AEW Collision. The show will emanate from the United Center in Punk’s hometown of Chicago, IL. Punk will be headlining the Collision premiere, teaming with FTR against Samoa Joe and Bullet Club Gold.
Hayter recalled her experience working with Punk in AEW, and she had nothing but lofty things to say about the two-time AEW World Champion.
You can check out some highlights from the interview:
On working with CM Punk: “From my experience with him, he was always very, very pleasant. Very helpful, and I always had really great conversations with him about wrestling. He’s a wealth of knowledge because he’s been in the business for so long, and he’s got extensive experience. You’d kind of be a fool not to want to pick his brain and not want to work with the guy. He knows what he’s doing!”
On her thoughts on Punk returning to AEW: “He was one of the most gripping performers in professional wrestling. The Summer of Punk, all of that, everyone was so into it and there was a reason why he was the most popular wrestler. To be honest, I would say he’s still incredibly popular now, regardless of the All Out stuff and the drama. He’s still a big name and he’s still wanted in the business. You know what? It’s not my company. I can’t speak for everybody, but I wouldn’t have an issue with it. If it’s gonna be good for the company, then I’m all for it. If it’s gonna put butts in seats, if it’s gonna get people to watch, then absolutely!”
