As a guest on Barstool Rasslin’, CM Punk commented on the newly-announced Owen Hart Cup in AEW and said that he was overwhelmed by the news and that AEW did the unthinkable.
Punk seems to be very much in awe of Owen Hart’s legacy, and the feeling appears to be mutual across the wrestling world.
CM Punk wants to be like Eddie Guerrero in AEW
Punk has stated in several interviews that he wants to give back to the business, especially when it comes to the younger talent.
In an interview with Jim Ross, he had cited what Eddie Guerrero did for him when he was on the independent scene. Guerrero had put his WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line, and though he beat him, he still put him over.
Considering that CM Punk’s second match in AEW is against Powerhouse Hobbs, it’s safe to say that he’s living up to the spirit that Eddie left behind.
