During a recent appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con, CM Punk revealed the advice Eddie Guerrero gave him early in his career.
Punk wrestled Guerrero on the independent circuit in 2002.
Punk said, “Moves don’t mean anything. It is who is doing them and when they’re doing them. Eddie Guerrero. He was right.“
CM Punk will battle Drew McIntyre this weekend at WWE SummerSlam 2024. Seth Rollins will act as the special guest referee.
In a recent appearance on ESPN’s SportsCenter, Rollins stated that he doesn’t want to be partial or get involved in the match, citing his personal disapproval of Punk and McIntyre as the reason.
Rollins said, “I can because I hate them both equally. I want them both to suffer the exact same amount, so I’m gonna do my best to work that out. It’s gonna be up to them, who’s gonna pin, who’s gonna make who tap out. We’ll get to all that. I’m gonna make sure they beat the crap out of each other. I hope not [to get involved]. The goal is not to be. You gotta understand, the reason I’m in this position is because neither Drew nor Punk could contain themselves in the lead-up to this. There was too much going on. No referee wanted to be a part of it. The match wasn’t gonna get sanctioned until I stepped in and said, ‘Hey, I can throw on the ref shirt. I can give it a shot.’ I’ve never done it. First time in my career. I’ve never at any level been a special guest referee, so I’m very excited to see what it’s gonna be like out there.“
