On the Pro Wrestling 4 Life podcast, Sean Waltman had discussed CM Punk and Daniel Bryan joining AEW.

“It’s exciting. It’s just good for everyone,” Waltman expressed. “It doesn’t hurt WWE, I don’t think. It definitely helps AEW. They already have some really good momentum as far as I’m concerned. It’s gonna be a f**king game changer. The difference is one is just a publicly traded company that’s just f**king monstrous. It’s huge, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere. That’s why I don’t think this necessarily hurts them. It just helps AEW, and it f**king helps the industry.”

A lot of fans are already thinking of dream matches for both of them, and who they'd wish to see them face in AEW.

"No, because if somebody is better than you, then maybe they deserve your spot,” Waltman pointed out. “That’s how I’ve always felt. I helped people that were there to f**king take my spot or take a bigger spot, like Jericho, for instance. Read his book. He’ll tell you. I’m all about people that f**king deserve the spot through merit. There’s something to be said for tenure, but it can’t be the only thing. It’s, what the f**k do you bring to the table right now?”
