Kevin Nash has openly said he wasn’t a big fan of CM Punk’s WWE return promo, but he admits Punk has been a success in WWE so far.
Speaking on a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer commented on CM Punk’s merchandise sales since his return, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On CM Punk’s success in WWE thus far: “Punk is selling f***ing merchandise like Tony Montana f**king moved cocaine. I always look at it from the standpoint of f**king standing back there in Gorilla at that curtain and your song hits, you’re CM Punk, you haven’t f**king said a word on that f**king stage in 10 f**king years, and you’re going to walk out there and you’re going to cut a promo, I don’t care who you are that’s a lot.”
On Punk appearing on the three shows to hear out offers before choosing RAW: “I thought it was a really good job that Paul [Levesque] did in him showing up at Raw, showing up at Smackdown then basically saying he was going to NXT to see Shawn Michaels. By doing that alone, it brought the NXT brand up because he was going to listen to what Shawn had as an offer, and I thought that was brilliant.”
