Saraya believes CM Punk‘s return would benefit AEW.
AEW seemingly has a big summer ahead of them with the rumored return of CM Punk, in addition to All In taking place at Wembley Stadium. Saraya is ecstatic for AEW’s biggest event yet to take place in her home country, and she would like to see AEW call in all the “big dogs” for the show, including Punk.
“I’ve said this before with Punk. He’s always been an absolute sweetheart to me,” Saraya said in a recent interview with BBC Norfolk. “He’s never once had any conflict whatsoever. He’s been very helpful and given a lot advice over the years. Since basically the beginning of when I was at WWE, he was kind of on his way out, but I remember coming up on live event loops, and he was very, very nice. Going into WWE Backstage, always very nice. Then coming into AEW, he had reached out to me, and was like, ‘If you need anything.’ He’s really awesome.
“So I want whatever is best for business,” Saraya continued. “If people don’t like each other, you have to find that common ground in a professional setting. There’s been people I haven’t liked over the years, but I’ve never let my personal feelings get in the way of business at the end of the day. If he was to come back, it would be great for AEW. It would be great for tickets too. I feel like Wembley is already doing awesome without anyone announced, but do you bring in the big dogs? Absolutely. We do have Chris Jericho, we do have the Young Bucks and Kenny [Omega], and hopefully, we bring in Punk too.”
Punk’s return has been rumored for June, and he is reportedly set to be the star of AEW’s new Collision show. More information is available here.
