Mike Chioda On The Criticism Of CM Punk Not Being A Big Draw

CM Punk made his long-awaited return to AEW on the June 17th premiere episode of Collision.

Punk was in action at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II pay-per-view event where he defeated Satoshi Kojima to advance to the semifinals of the Owen Hart Cup.

During a recent edition of Monday Mailbag for AdeFreeShows, WWE’s longest-tenured referee Mike Chioda addressed criticisms of Punk not being a major draw for AEW. Chioda said,

“People were telling me months ago, ‘Oh, he’s a problem. He doesn’t draw. Does he draw?’ All that. Come on, Punk draws. I popped as soon as he walks through that entrance. I love it. His facials are the f****** best.”
