The wrestling world was sent into a frenzy when the Straight Edge Superstar, CM Punk, made his triumphant return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023. Since then, fans have been salivating over the prospect of dream matches and fresh rivalries. While Punk's initial comeback was cut short due to a triceps injury, his recent return to action has reignited excitement. His brutal Hell in a Cell match against Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood showcased his ability to deliver high-stakes, hard-hitting encounters.
One such potential foe is the brash and outspoken Grayson Waller. During a recent interview with
Chris Van Viet on Insight, Waller expressed his desire to lock horns with the Straight Edge Superstar.
He said, “There’s one guy that I think I’d make magic with and that’s CM Punk. I think the way CM Punk does his business, the way he talks, I’d have so much fun with that. I can just feel it. Even the small interactions that we’ve had — I threw a little bit of trash talk at him before he got here just in case he ever did and now that he’s here, I feel like me and Punk would have a lot of fun.”
He further opined, “Sometimes that’s where the biggest heat lies is when you’re too similar. I think me and Punk definitely have our similarities. He’s a guy I’d definitely like to stand across from, especially on the mic, he’s almost untouched the way he carries himself and how confident he is. He doesn’t care.
Whether he’s good or bad, he doesn’t care what people think, he’s gonna say what he thinks and I love that energy. I love that he has that energy but I wanna give that back to him. I want to see how he feels when someone does what he does to people to him. That’s how I felt with Shawn (Michaels) a little bit. It’s like, ‘Shawn, remember what you used to be like? How’s it feel, now you’re feeling what it’s like to have you coming at you.’ I feel that with Punk. Punk’s ruling it right now but I want to be CM Punk from 15 years ago coming at him and see how he reacts and feels about that.”
