I loved her when she was Renee Young, Instantly fell in love with her personality backstage and now love her even more because She brings out the best out of everyone in her oral sessions.
She was one of the best WWE interviewers/journalists that they had, so I applauded her when she left those assholes. Treating employees that work hard like shit, not paying them enough, plus she wanted to have a kid, it was just time for her, and if WWE wanted to keep her they should have treated her accordingly. They lost a gem, that's for god damn sure!
Really hope they find a way to get past the issues because it would suck so bad if that’s how all of this ends. But sadly I’m not optimistic at this point.
I'm just glad Punk and Bryan are wrestling in a happy environment again. My interest level in the WWE product after April goes down after the part-timers leave and they stop caring about the week to week stories. Its great to have AEW revitalize interest in the summer so I'm looking forward to the fall season for once. Everybody knows business will pick back up in the WWE in January, but till then AEW should keep gaining momentum.
@@sephiroth8724 I agree but I think some is because how limited the commentary team is. I mean look what kind of person Renee is, she needs to be herself so I feel if she commentates in AEW or somewhere else she would thrive.
@@troIIdier JR and Jerry the king Lawler were amazing. Paul heyman as well. And also Tazz and Michael Cole was good years ago. So no Renee sucks at commentating, it is what it is. There are things where you’re just gonna be bad at and for her that’s what it is.
I’m not ashamed to admit, I got a bit emotional over Punk’s return. He was my childhood hero, and as someone who was severely bullied in school, watching Punk’s documentary years ago I related to his youth so much. To say the man has inspired and influenced me would be an understatement. I’m ecstatic for Punk, you can tell returning to wrestling means a lot to him. All Out will be the first time I’ve watched any wrestling in over 5 years, and I can’t wait. Best of luck, Punk 🙌
Don’t have heroes. They will always let you down. But it’s fine to admire certain traits in people and their hard work and ethical stances and whatnot. I used to have John Lennon as a role model. Then I found out he was a wife beater who left nothing to his first son Julian in his will. Stuff like that will give you pause. Now I just say that he is my favorite Beatle for the music. And I like certain stances he took that he didn’t have to and could have cost him financially and even worse. I’m cool with you having a childhood hero. That’s fine. Just don’t idealize these people. They are human. Humans will always let you down. Just like we have probably let someone down before too. Godspeed.
My 8yr old daughter popped when Darby came to save Punk she was so confused but happy Darby saved Punk! Then she proceeded to she her father tear up seeing Sting give Punk is his flowers in real time 🥺
When punk was talking about the culture of the locker room, ofc they want it that way. It behooves Vince to keep the infighting up, cause if yall get along, you'll form a union and demand health insurance and have rights.
This is what you get when you get a billionaire who has been involved in other industries start a wrestling organisation. He is used to running successful companies where everyone is valued equally and you respect your workforce. Vs Vince who became a billionaire on the back of the wrestlers who got him there and I imagine he didn’t have to worry about HR until he was forced to have an HR department.
Renee is another talent the WWE never appreciated. This interview is great. You can tell she loves wrestling too & also understands it from a friend, fan & coworker point of view & it's nice to get that perspective in an interview like this. I'm looking forward to other interviews she happens to have next.
@Craig Waldera Lol nice trolling. But to answer your question for anyone else who happens to read it, first thing he said in a ring in over half a decade was put Britt Baker over, he's working with one of the hottest young talents AEW has in Darby Allin, he did a physical segment with 2.0 and Danny Garcia, he's been non-stop talking about how good talents like Jungle Boy are while standing in the ring with them. None of those are huge on their own, but put all those together over the past few weeks and it's pretty clear what he's done. Not to mention how happy he's clearly made a lot of people. And of course he hasn't had a match yet, you really think they'll give CM Punk's first match in 7 years away on free tv when they could put it on one of their marquee ppv's and in Chicago no less. That would just be bad business if they did that.
“It’s not writers in a room that don’t even watch wrestling, writing for characters they don’t understand.” This is what killed WCW, and it’s currently killing WWE.
I will add to WCW the fact that Hogan never accepted building up others without resistence and never accepted he was old. I think his contract had stipulation for wins whenever he wanted. Plus the trips of Bischoff y'know
@otaviofrn_adv except for WCW didn't die under Bischoff, it was resuscitated and held on life support for over 5 years before Vince Russo came in and single handedly killed the entire company in the time from his takeover in 1999 right up until the sale of WCW to Vince McMahon in 2001. That's the part everyone seems to forget is Bischoff was the guy keeping the company alive the whole time Turner was willing to let it die.
He isn't the GOAT, but he is great. Kobashi, Misawa, Okada, Omega, Tanahashi, Ospreay, Danielson, Punk. I'm constantly changing the list but the top 4 have been constant. We'll see where he ends up after his AEW run, which I've already said might end up being his best. :)
None of the named are even close to be the goats. LMAO From a mere financial standpoint, Steve Austin is objectively the greatest of all times. Then from audiences number interest it's Hogan. And from audience involvement it's absolutely Bruno Sammartino. And the actual greatest from a pure wrestling standpoint is no doubtetly Ric Flair. All the goobers you named are some irrelevant indie dorks.
as a guy in my 30's who lost love of watching wrestling a few years ago, aew ,the way they run the show and with the guys in the roster have actually made me enjoy watching it again every friday, so much like the old style of wrestling where you actually care about the competitors and the big matches,(opposite of WWE where its literally same old boring 0 depth linear stories crap) everyone at aew deserves allot of credit. long may it continue.
Punk was one who started to say no to heavy paychecks in toxic environment which inspired MOX to leave WWE and go on tear in AEW to be reborn and that started new thing of people rediscovering their passion and having faith in AEW to be great alternative which inspired Punk to come back to wrestling. Life comes full circle and it will bring great to see Mox vs Punk, two top dogs going at it, unscripted promo battles with Mox too being great on mic. Punk vd Moxely gonna be celebration of pro wrestling 2 dudes who loves the art doing it on their terms on biggest stage.
yes well said and yes Dean Ambrose < Jon Moxley. Ambrose was super boring towards the end. From the moment he debuted in AEW as Moxley he was so much more exciting.
@@menacelurkingyet8345 I’m pretty sure given the context and their reactions, he was just kidding. He also referred to Christian as “backstage Buddha” playfully.
@@ryanmcquitty5604 It may just be a habit for Punk. It's been established via the old E&C podcast that it's a very common backstage ritual for people to just bury Christian for their own amusement. To be fair, Christian likes fucking with people too, so turnabout is fair play.
My favorite thing is thinking about Jon walking around Wicker Park with the baby while they do the interview. Popping in to Reckless Record or Ragstock with a baby Bjorn on.
I still love CM Punk Coming from an outspoken Chicagoan such as myself I really enjoyed him saying the shit most ''commoners'' are too afraid to say about these corporations.
Punk @8:10 is completely spot on. This is why countless wrestlers who had retired either couldn't let it go or would go downhill after retiring through drugs etc because they couldn't handle not having the crowd pops anymore.
To be fair, most people are completely unaware that "Detroit-style" pizza is even a thing, let alone that they have TWO signature styles. I'm 32 years old, and I just learned about "Detroit Deep Dish" maybe 6 months ago. Before that, I assumed deep dish pizza was exclusively a Chicago thing.
Any true Professional Wrestling fan who says they didn't get emotional when Punk finally came back is either a liar or not as big a fan as they say. I didn't tear up but man I felt it on the inside. Oh yeah and piss on the 37 people who thumbs down this interview.
I've never even been a Punk fan. I always felt he was overrated. However, it did kinda melt my heart at his return. Everyone was so damn happy, so I couldn't help but grin like a fool.
I'll be honest I've never seen CM punk wrestle. I knew of him from being on the front cover of a xbox game. I was attitude era then grew up so lost touch Found wrestling again in lockdown with my step son and his return was epic I felt it because the fans give it. You could tell it was on par with the biggest. His match was shite but still respect to the man for the hype he created then and now
I just want one episode of mox being a dad. When Renee said John took the baby for a stroller I imagined him pushing a baby stroller and I just want to see one day in the life of mox the dad
@@Rottenberg666 I'm not saying like a series or a reality show cuz mox probably isn't all that entertaining but like a simple like 15 min clip of moxley having first time dad troubles is probably entertaining lol.
Love this. Just two buddies catching up and the conversation flows like water, cool and calm. Two buddies with amazing pedigrees in their respective fields, and you just have to respect how far Renee and CM Punk have come from humble beginnings.
The timeline lines up as follows. Aew started in January, had 1st show in may when moxley debuted, then dynamite started in October around when the fox show started
Oh me too! I would love to hear from more of the guys that learned little things like that from Eddie talk about what all they learned. Man imagine what Eddie would be doing right now if he was still here with us!!! I wonder if he would still be wrestling because that was just who he was was a wrestling machine and with as good as shape he kept himself in, minus some of the GH, he may still be in the ring on a part time limited basis. No house shows but maybe big ppvs thru the year with some tvs thrown in to build whatever he's doing. I don't believe he would have ever left WWE though. He was a "Made" guy already with wwe before he passed and was viewed as a top guy and highly respected and treated well. BUT in saying that, I thought the same thing about big show and mark Henry when they jumped. And especially Bryan Danielson So who knows. Bryan even said himself he loved working there and loved who he worked with and he was given alot of things apparantley that most nobody else gets like he said he was helping on creative write the shows some and they let him free lance a little more with his promos and what he was doing. And the biggest thing, they were gonna allow him to go wrestle in Japan and diff places overseas that he really wanted which anyone that knows how WWE operates knows that just does not happen ever! Lol Bryan even said him and Vince are very close and he said that Vince sometimes was too over protective of Bryan which shows you how Vince felt about him. So him jumping was and will prob always be the biggest jump. Unless someone like a lifer and huge name like a randy orton or someone. I'm not gonna say Cena, taker, Shawn Michaels or a rock because thats just not gonna happen.
Completely agree! I was fascinated to hear what an amazing wrestler like Eddie would teach CM Punk. Listen and read the crowd early. So simple and so completely genius. I hope he teaches that to the wrestlers in AEW.
I wonder if that is kinda part of an on going inside rib with Christian and punk over the whole Christians debut getting some of the fans shit talking him that it was a let down debut, that Christian wasn't a hall of Fame level star like aew advertised it would be because everyone was hoping it was punk by the way it was built up lol. Reason I say that might be it is because in their promo after cameras stopped rolling last week on dynamite when punk and christian both were in the ring cutting promos to send the fans home happy, Christian made a small funny jab at himself about it and when he did punk died laughing lol. So I bet it's something between them two now that they will always have to remember and joke about, cause punk saying here "oh I havnt paid much attention to christians career " and laughed,sounds like that's what it prob is lol.
Two things I’ve taken from this interview - Tony Khan respects and cares for his workers (the polar opposite of VKM), and that Joe Rogan is very likely NOT on CM Punks Christmas mailing list!!
@@MiniLemmy He said he doesn't have innate athletic talent. And he is right. He doesn't move like an explosive athlete, he is just a well-conditioned, well trained pro wrestler but not a pure athlete like say Shelton Benjamin.
You can tell Punk and Renee are genuinely friends and care a lot for each other and that makes for such a good interview. In fact it isn't even an interview in the traditional sense, it's two friends hanging out shooting the shit and we get to listen in. Brilliant.
4:54 great match. Love the way Darby was starstruck sitting in the corner as Punk was going into the ring and then getting up to face one of his idols. It added to the match 👏
I once met Paul Heyman backstage at an ECW event along with Tommy Dreamer and others. Also got to hang out with the ECW guys at a BW3’s. I love those ECW guys. Got to watch CM Punk do his thing in the ring. I’ll never forget how awesome an experience that was. All the guys were so cool, and I’ve been a fan of Punks ever since. I know Punk is a Heyman guy. Can’t stress enough how smart, and just how nice a guy Heyman really is. Anyhow, I stopped watching wrestling for the most part when Punk left, and was so excited to see him return in Chicago on AEW. I kept up with what they were doing a bit, and saw the potential in the talent they have there. Darby Allin ironically is one of my favorite people to watch. Can’t wait to see what they do at All Out, and going forward. Darby is a star and I think more people will see that as time goes on.
This is such a great interview. Loved it. It's so great to have him back in wrestling. I can't wait to watch All Out tonight. Thanks for uploading the video. 🙌
Seeing you guys just having a chat, rather than an interview, how happy and relaxed you both are and that smile on Punk's face at Rampage just brings smile to my face and brings some light in to the wrestling world after the last few days.....but that moment at like 35:00 about being dead in a hotel room hit hard so can't imagine how you guys would have felt thinking back on it before posting this episode.
Love that Living Colour called Punk before giving the rights to “Cult of Personality” to Tony Khan to make sure it was for Punk. Dudes know how to optimize that royalty money.
@@ThailandDantotherescue there’s so many good things punk can do in AEW especially him and Bryan that’s just high quality tag matches with anyone imagine the rub they could give the Varsity blondes going over punk and Bryan that’d be huge for Brian Pillman Jr
@@CEREBROBELFAST my prediction 2.0 and Garcia force Darby and Punk to go to a no contest and destroy them both. Then Bryan runs in and makes the save. Sting has said he won’t be at ringside, possibly he gets ambushed out back by all 3 before they take out punk and Darby,
@@Ginric99 I'm not sure how BD will debut, I could possibly see Omega cutting a promo after the main event saying he beat Jon Moxley, he beat Adam Page and now he's beaten Christian, there's no one left in AEW who can challenge him, then Ride of the Valkyries hitting and DB coming out to confont him right as the show ends. I don't know but that's my prediction anyway. I'd rather keep him and CM Punk apart for a while to spread the rub around as best as possible, but when they eventually meet it'll be epic, we have a lot of dream matches to look forward to now.
Sting was my first favorite wrestler, back when I was a kid in the 90s. CM Punk was my favorite as I got older. Getting to go to Rampage and All Out and see then both together in the same ring TWICE in person was something I never thought I’d ever see. Absolutely incredible moments being created by AEW.
Future Rivalries in AEW that I'm looking forward to: - CM Punk vs MJF - Darby Allin vs Malakai Black (hopefully) - Daniel Bryan, Kenny Omega, and Adam Cole - Eddie Kingston vs Miro (I hope they prolong this because there's more into it, do some street fight or no holds barred types of matches)
I remember when he went to fox and everybody thought it was a wwe comeback. I honestly didn’t believe he was even going to aew until I saw it. Glad he did. He is too good to never return.
It's so funny the way Renee is sarcastically like "are we giving away spoilers?" ,and theyre both just giddy about the american dragon, dropping hints the whole interview. Everybody kinda knew 😂
Can someone explain it to me? I usually am the one explaining when it comes to wrestling but I have to admit I have no clue what Punk was talking about when he was talking about the red light and Renée acted disgusted.
Renee is such a natural interviewer.She brings everyone out.Please interview as many people in/out of wrestling.We as your fans just want two people to talk as down to earth human beings to each othet.No egos.Thank you Renee.
Great interview. Just wanted to point out it’s a lot more difficult for women to say “no” to things because we’re always taught to be accommodating. I feel your pain, Renee!
I dont think its taught, especially these days, but I do think womens nature it to be accommodating. Much harder to break your biology than social conditioning.

Renee is secretly the most important person in wrestling.
She's like that unknown middle person that EVERYONE likes/respects and has a connection with EVERYONE.
I loved her when she was Renee Young, Instantly fell in love with her personality backstage and now love her even more because She brings out the best out of everyone in her oral sessions.
Secretly?
Why Vince would ever want to give Renee a script to read instead of just letting her be herself is simply baffling

Oh yeah and piss on the 37 people who thumbs down this interview.
Just thinking about it makes my eyes get all misty.
I've never even been a Punk fan. I always felt he was overrated. However, it did kinda melt my heart at his return. Everyone was so damn happy, so I couldn't help but grin like a fool.
I'll be honest I've never seen CM punk wrestle. I knew of him from being on the front cover of a xbox game. I was attitude era then grew up so lost touch Found wrestling again in lockdown with my step son and his return was epic I felt it because the fans give it. You could tell it was on par with the biggest. His match was shite but still respect to the man for the hype he created then and now
Renee, you're awesome! And Mox aint half bad himself lol
I just want one episode of mox being a dad. When Renee said John took the baby for a stroller I imagined him pushing a baby stroller and I just want to see one day in the life of mox the dad
Yeah... he's OKAY I guess! lol
@@corycybulski961 Why would you want to see that? It's their personal life
@@Rottenberg666 I'm not saying like a series or a reality show cuz mox probably isn't all that entertaining but like a simple like 15 min clip of moxley having first time dad troubles is probably entertaining lol.
Leave that alone bredda🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
punk at the end of rampage was awesome. that speech was very cool.
Love this. Just two buddies catching up and the conversation flows like water, cool and calm. Two buddies with amazing pedigrees in their respective fields, and you just have to respect how far Renee and CM Punk have come from humble beginnings.
Hahaha, even though it isn't a surprise at this point, I love how he legit confirms Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan) showing up.
Yeah Adam cole was a pretty good surprise though
Eddie was my favorite wrestler growing up. I thank Punk for keeping his legacy alive. He brings Eddie up alot in many of his interviews.
The timeline lines up as follows. Aew started in January, had 1st show in may when moxley debuted, then dynamite started in October around when the fox show started
Still surreal that he's returned to wrestling.
You are from nepal
Aew is not wrestling
Thanks to Renee
I still not truly realised, i Wonder if i even gonna realise it one day
@@kamfisher1714 AEW is Professionnal wrestling
It's so good to see Renee happy and healthy just talking to CM Punk who's happy with his decision to come back. Very heart warming!
thought that nugget from eddie about reading the crowd before the show was brilliant. as was 25:49 where punk is clearly thinking "danielson" lol
Oh me too! I would love to hear from more of the guys that learned little things like that from Eddie talk about what all they learned. Man imagine what Eddie would be doing right now if he was still here with us!!! I wonder if he would still be wrestling because that was just who he was was a wrestling machine and with as good as shape he kept himself in, minus some of the GH, he may still be in the ring on a part time limited basis. No house shows but maybe big ppvs thru the year with some tvs thrown in to build whatever he's doing. I don't believe he would have ever left WWE though. He was a "Made" guy already with wwe before he passed and was viewed as a top guy and highly respected and treated well. BUT in saying that, I thought the same thing about big show and mark Henry when they jumped. And especially Bryan Danielson So who knows. Bryan even said himself he loved working there and loved who he worked with and he was given alot of things apparantley that most nobody else gets like he said he was helping on creative write the shows some and they let him free lance a little more with his promos and what he was doing. And the biggest thing, they were gonna allow him to go wrestle in Japan and diff places overseas that he really wanted which anyone that knows how WWE operates knows that just does not happen ever! Lol Bryan even said him and Vince are very close and he said that Vince sometimes was too over protective of Bryan which shows you how Vince felt about him. So him jumping was and will prob always be the biggest jump. Unless someone like a lifer and huge name like a randy orton or someone. I'm not gonna say Cena, taker, Shawn Michaels or a rock because thats just not gonna happen.
Completely agree! I was fascinated to hear what an amazing wrestler like Eddie would teach CM Punk. Listen and read the crowd early. So simple and so completely genius. I hope he teaches that to the wrestlers in AEW.
Punk made the right choice waiting for a return to crowds. It wasn't selfish, that's a moment that wrestling fans aren't ever going to forget.
I can hear punk for hours without getting bored
I never really paid attention to Christians career thing had me rollin...lol
43:04 44:52
I wonder if that is kinda part of an on going inside rib with Christian and punk over the whole Christians debut getting some of the fans shit talking him that it was a let down debut, that Christian wasn't a hall of Fame level star like aew advertised it would be because everyone was hoping it was punk by the way it was built up lol. Reason I say that might be it is because in their promo after cameras stopped rolling last week on dynamite when punk and christian both were in the ring cutting promos to send the fans home happy, Christian made a small funny jab at himself about it and when he did punk died laughing lol. So I bet it's something between them two now that they will always have to remember and joke about, cause punk saying here "oh I havnt paid much attention to christians career " and laughed,sounds like that's what it prob is lol.
Watching this in october 2023 makes me sad for what could have been :(
14:30 lol "Who comes to Chicago to order Jets Pizza?"
Moxley in the background: "HAHAHAHA!"
Everything tonight looks like it can go well for AEW I hope it does I hope AEW have a great night for pro wrestling.
Their friendship is just cute!
Renee and Punk are such a great pairing I just love their friendship
I missed the wrestling 2014-2020..... The sun rose in 2021. CM Punk is back👊
You didn't miss much in 2014-18
Two things I’ve taken from this interview - Tony Khan respects and cares for his workers (the polar opposite of VKM), and that Joe Rogan is very likely NOT on CM Punks Christmas mailing list!!
What was said about joe
@@its_ya_boi_boi Joe Rogan stated on his podcast that he didn’t think CM Punk was an athlete after his UFC fights
@@MiniLemmy if that was the case let’s see Rogan take a bump if he thinks it’s soo easy
@@MiniLemmy He said he doesn't have innate athletic talent. And he is right. He doesn't move like an explosive athlete, he is just a well-conditioned, well trained pro wrestler but not a pure athlete like say Shelton Benjamin.
You can tell Punk and Renee are genuinely friends and care a lot for each other and that makes for such a good interview. In fact it isn't even an interview in the traditional sense, it's two friends hanging out shooting the shit and we get to listen in. Brilliant.
CM Punk VS Jon Moxley is gonna insane
@Craig Waldera shut up
@Craig Waldera whatever you say Vince
@Craig Waldera get the f*ck outta here why spoil the mood of others
Even the tribal chief agrees
4:54 great match. Love the way Darby was starstruck sitting in the corner as Punk was going into the ring and then getting up to face one of his idols. It added to the match 👏
I love Renee’s personality. Would love to see more of her in aew.
Can't happen for six more years
@@rickygervaissaidhi2524 why six more years
@@frenchfries2424 WWE only let her go with 7 yrs non-compete deal
I had goosebumps when Punk suggested partnering with Bryan vs The Young Bucks
The Larry cameo was the highlight of whole interview
I once met Paul Heyman backstage at an ECW event along with Tommy Dreamer and others. Also got to hang out with the ECW guys at a BW3’s. I love those ECW guys. Got to watch CM Punk do his thing in the ring. I’ll never forget how awesome an experience that was. All the guys were so cool, and I’ve been a fan of Punks ever since. I know Punk is a Heyman guy. Can’t stress enough how smart, and just how nice a guy Heyman really is. Anyhow, I stopped watching wrestling for the most part when Punk left, and was so excited to see him return in Chicago on AEW. I kept up with what they were doing a bit, and saw the potential in the talent they have there. Darby Allin ironically is one of my favorite people to watch. Can’t wait to see what they do at All Out, and going forward. Darby is a star and I think more people will see that as time goes on.
Mox laughing in the background was hilarious
When
where?
This is such a great interview. Loved it. It's so great to have him back in wrestling. I can't wait to watch All Out tonight. Thanks for uploading the video. 🙌
Oh it’s so sad watching this in Jan 23. Come back, Punk!!!
Seeing you guys just having a chat, rather than an interview, how happy and relaxed you both are and that smile on Punk's face at Rampage just brings smile to my face and brings some light in to the wrestling world after the last few days.....but that moment at like 35:00 about being dead in a hotel room hit hard so can't imagine how you guys would have felt thinking back on it before posting this episode.
Renee's husband is a wrestler and Renee has friends who wrestle so nothing Punk said surprised her.
Renee and Punk doing NHL commentary would get me watching every damn show they did! Holy crap would that ever be awesome!
No.
Renee would be a great backstage journalist for AEW... She was gold when she interviewed people in WWE.
Thank you Renee! Best wishes to your entire family! 💛🖤
Love that Living Colour called Punk before giving the rights to “Cult of Personality” to Tony Khan to make sure it was for Punk. Dudes know how to optimize that royalty money.
I need a sequel Renee lol.
I truly enjoy this interview beyond measure. Thank you.
Renee absolutely killing it with these interviews. Hyped for All Out in barely an hour!
Punk and Bryan teaming in the future is gonna be insane 25:36
I loved that trios idea... I really think punk and sting vs FTR would be money. Ftr are good hands and work very safe.
@@ThailandDantotherescue there’s so many good things punk can do in AEW especially him and Bryan that’s just high quality tag matches with anyone imagine the rub they could give the Varsity blondes going over punk and Bryan that’d be huge for Brian Pillman Jr
@@peytonlong5573 god yes... and keep beating up 2.0... I love that team as jobbers... they literally can't be buried
@@ThailandDantotherescue yea I think 2.0 might get pushed as more than punching bags but we’ll see on that one
@@peytonlong5573 I love em... old school Memphis heels. I don't need them to win, I need them to bump and cut promos and be entertaining.
Knew who he was gonna fantasy book as a tag partner as soon as he cracked that smile
When he asked when this was going out it was basically confirmation that Bryan Danielson is debuting at All Out
@@CEREBROBELFAST my prediction 2.0 and Garcia force Darby and Punk to go to a no contest and destroy them both. Then Bryan runs in and makes the save. Sting has said he won’t be at ringside, possibly he gets ambushed out back by all 3 before they take out punk and Darby,
@@Ginric99 I'm not sure how BD will debut, I could possibly see Omega cutting a promo after the main event saying he beat Jon Moxley, he beat Adam Page and now he's beaten Christian, there's no one left in AEW who can challenge him, then Ride of the Valkyries hitting and DB coming out to confont him right as the show ends. I don't know but that's my prediction anyway. I'd rather keep him and CM Punk apart for a while to spread the rub around as best as possible, but when they eventually meet it'll be epic, we have a lot of dream matches to look forward to now.
@@CEREBROBELFAST pretty close!
@@grifffourn8200 yeah I know, I thought I'd nailed it until Adam Cole came out instead
Sting was my first favorite wrestler, back when I was a kid in the 90s. CM Punk was my favorite as I got older. Getting to go to Rampage and All Out and see then both together in the same ring TWICE in person was something I never thought I’d ever see. Absolutely incredible moments being created by AEW.
Sting in the ring at AEW at age 60 moving like he is 35-40 is amazing. If one says that it's better than Punk's return I will not argue against
Miss this friendship 😢
Love these -- thank y'all for having the discussion/session (:
YOU FKN KNEW RENEE!!!! YOU FREAKING KNEW!!! #AEW #ALLOUT
Thank You Renee Paquette 💯
Future Rivalries in AEW that I'm looking forward to:
- CM Punk vs MJF
- Darby Allin vs Malakai Black (hopefully)
- Daniel Bryan, Kenny Omega, and Adam Cole
- Eddie Kingston vs Miro (I hope they prolong this because there's more into it, do some street fight or no holds barred types of matches)
I want to see Miro against Malakai Black. God’s favorite champion vs the demon.
Yes!! But Hangman vs Omega is my most awaited match for this year.
If that was Nora saying, "Yeah! That's for you!" in that backstage clip when Punk asked, "That's for me?!" that's amazing.
Sarcastically (but genuinely) putting over how underrated Christian's career has been = 👍🏾👍🏾
Such good vibes, man!! Love this.
Can’t wait for All Out, Renee one of the best interviewer and Cm Punk the best in the world. Great interview
I have watched all of punks current AEW media tour, and the happiness he has shown has been amazing. It’s great to see him do his thing
I’m going to All Out In Chicago tonight! I cant wait!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I loved everything about this, I love their friendship.
I remember when he went to fox and everybody thought it was a wwe comeback. I honestly didn’t believe he was even going to aew until I saw it. Glad he did. He is too good to never return.
I haven’t really bought into the hype just yet, but this is cm punk’s most impressive content recently for me. I wish both of you so much success.
Punk seems really genuinely happy and excited about AEW and hwat he can do there, and so am I
These two beautiful souls keep my love for wrestling alive. She’s perfect and he’s amazing.
Hes so calm and relaxed aew made him feel at home
Thank you for setting this up and making it happen!
It's so funny the way Renee is sarcastically like "are we giving away spoilers?" ,and theyre both just giddy about the american dragon, dropping hints the whole interview. Everybody kinda knew 😂
Punk ribbing Christian in this interview is hilarious! You know Christian is gonna have to get him back now
Renee's reaction and the disgusted look on her face when Punk mentioned the red light completely sent me laughing. Never change, Renee. You're great.
Can someone explain it to me? I usually am the one explaining when it comes to wrestling but I have to admit I have no clue what Punk was talking about when he was talking about the red light and Renée acted disgusted.
These two are so good together, they're just old pals having a chat. Glad to see Renee back 'on the air', she was always a bright spot on WWE.
Thanks for the interview Renee and Punk. Good luck guys today!!
PD: I still cannot believe it 😌
Renee young, I missed you so much I’m glad I finally got to see you here
Thank you Renee. You are the Mother Teresa of wrestling 💕💕
Renee is such a natural interviewer.She brings everyone out.Please interview as many people in/out of wrestling.We as your fans just want two people to talk as down to earth human beings to each othet.No egos.Thank you Renee.
Great interview. Just wanted to point out it’s a lot more difficult for women to say “no” to things because we’re always taught to be accommodating. I feel your pain, Renee!
Is it???
I dont think its taught, especially these days, but I do think womens nature it to be accommodating. Much harder to break your biology than social conditioning.
Great interview Renee. CM Punk is my favorite wrestler of all time. I cried for the first time in years when he made his intro during rampage.
