CM Punk has won over the fanbase with his skills and also the messages that he gives out to the public. The wrestler’s promos are not just about thrashing his opponents, but he always seems to have something interesting to tell us. Ever since he gained a certain credibility in the wrestling world, Punk has been advocating for a drug-free society. The WWE legend is a ‘straight edge’. This is what makes him an inspiration for many people who wish to lead a similar life. Darby Allin is also among such people and seems to have a CM Punk-inspired tattoo.
The Voice of the Voiceless gained this moniker for standing up for what he believes in. A drug-free society is one of his ideals. CM Punk identifies as a straight-edge, someone who abstains from engaging in any intoxicating substances, and this mindset attracted Darby Allin as well.
The WWE legend has a tattoo on his abdomen that reads “straight edge“. He also has “drug-free” written on his knuckles. Allin resonates with this so much that he has the same tattoo on his knuckles as well.

When CM Punk made his AEW debut back in 2021, he was starting with the wrestling business again after several years. Fans were hyped for his appearance and the huge pop that they gave him in his hometown was something that he couldn’t help but get overwhelmed about. In the arena, he announced that he would treat everyone present to a free ice cream. This was a thank you to them for making him such a big star and giving him all the love.

Now that the WWE fans have also been patient with him all these months during his injury hiatus, he wishes to pull off something similar. He was present at the Fanatics Fest in NYC a few days ago and Dave LaGreca from the Busted Open Podcast got a hold of him. This is when he asked him about his motivation for coming back and how much of an effect fans play in this respect.
Punk revealed that he was moved by all the patience and support throughout. He wishes for his fans to always be happy and that was the reason behind the ice cream treat in AEW. While talking, he also asked the viewers to look out for more surprises the next time WWE is in Chicago because there will be more treats for them. It is this combination of ideals and rewards that fans seem to love about CM Punk.
