You’d have to be a “psychopath” to not feel for CM Punk during his emotional promo on this week’s episode of RAW, at least according to AEW’s Thunder Rosa.
On Monday’s edition of RAW, Punk confirmed that he will be out of action for some time with a triceps injury that will result in him not competing this April at WrestleMania 40.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Tommy Dreamer praised Punk’s promo. He said,
“His promo was amazing because it was real. Nobody deserves to be injured.”
Rosa added that Punk is heartbroken by this injury and praised him for his examples of those struggling with things bigger than wrestling, like his friend battling cancer. She said,
“If that was his plan, to make people feel empathetic for what he’s going through, I think he did an amazing job. Even if you hate CM Punk, there was at one point, you feel some sort of empathy. You had to. If not, you are a psychopath.”
Punk is expected to be out of action until September. Interestingly, Punk and Drew McIntyre teased a future match despite McIntyre’s contract expiring in April.
