CM Punk recently spoke with The Wrap, where he spoke about the pandemic actually being beneficial for wrestlers.

“It’s 100% better. I don’t gotta drive into a town and try to check into a hotel at 4:30 in the morning and find out there’s a clown convention in town and all the hotels are booked up. The pandemic and the reset kind of made it to where the wrestlers have that better schedule and they have more say over– this is easier and this is the way it should be. You can’t treat us like cattle, and that’s definitely an appeal.”

Punk also spoke about why he is not rushing into a match with Kenny Omega or Bryan Danielson.

“Slow down, us. You don’t start a big comeback ‘pitching Game 1 of the World Series. I’m an artist painting my picture. Let me paint my picture. What I’m doing is very calculated, it’s very thought out.”
