CM Punk et la AEW ont attendu le “moment parfait”

Dans un point de presse qui a suivi sa présence à Rampage hier soir, CM Punk a affirmé que c’était difficile de ne pas tenir le secret et d’ainsi confirmer qu’il a joint la AEW.

Punk a mentionné qu’il discutait avec Tony Khan depuis environ un an et demi. Il soutient qu’on devait vraiment le convaincre pour qu’il fasse son retour à la lutte.

Punk affirme qu’hier était pour lui et la AEW le « moment parfait », car le fait de revenir à la lutte durant la pandémie, alors que les fans n’étaient pas au rendez-vous dans les arénas, n’aurait pas eu le même impact.

“I’ll go ahead and spoil that I’ve been talking to Tony for probably a year and a half about this. Some girls are easy to get into bed. I am not. I need to do wined and dined. That’s not, ‘oh I need more money and less dates’ and ‘oh I need this and I need that.’ It was literally just talking to Tony and getting to know him, and the more people that he employed that I knew, I’d ask them questions and they’d tell me things.

I’ve been in the game for a few minutes, you know, so I’ve seen that. I think I traced it back to, especially since the downfall of ECW, every six months to a year, somebody pops up, ‘I have money, we’re gonna have TV and we’re going to use all the ECW guys.’ This is not a slight on Tony at all. It’s more of, it’s more of a slight at me being a paranoid, neurotic, anxiety-ridden, very careful person, and I wasn’t in a hurry. The pandemic kind of help that out, you know, and I knew I couldn’t debut if there’s no people in the building. So, I always say, timing is everything, and there were a lot of happy accidents along the way that made this possible.”

Punk affirme qu’il ne souhaitait pas vraiment se cacher et nier entièrement son arrivée à la AEW. Il est arrivé au United Center normalement hier soir pour se préparer ainsi à vivre un très beau moment.

Punk ajoute que même si les fans se doutaient qu’il serait à Rampage hier, Punk et la AEW voulaient tout de même laisser planer un certain doute, afin d’ajouter à l’excitation de son retour.

“We also don’t want to beat you over the head with it and lie. You know, I didn’t have them construct some fugazi pipe and drape and drive me in the United Center and hide me from everybody. I walked in here like a human being, and I was like, ‘hey everybody,’ meeting people walking through the hallway because I just think these people, again, nobody’s back here standing on their own dick. Everybody’s getting out of their own way. Just let stuff happen and having fun. Behind the camera and in front of the camera, people just having fun, and they just want to be a part of it, that’s it. So nobody’s trying to, you know, tweet and spoil stuff. Let’s just all have fun.

So I think a lot of people back here were in on it. They knew I was going to be here but they weren’t sure, and man isn’t that fun? Isn’t that fun? Worst kept secret designed that way for a reason. You can criticize and say well, ‘they should advertise, maybe the ratings will be better.’ It’s about the moments. It’s about the moments and making people go ‘oh man, I can’t miss the show I don’t know what’s going to happen. This is fun and I want to be a part of.'”

Punk a également confirmé qu’il a signé un contrat à long terme – et à plein temps – avec la AEW. Le contrat a été signé en juin dernier.
