Kurt Angle Reveals Ex-WWE Star Would Have “Beaten Up” CM Punk in the Attitude Era

After a decade-long wait, fans finally got to see CM Punk’s return to WWE. Since then, fans have been coming up with these dream match scenarios and theories on who should be the Second City Saint‘s next big rival. While fans are excited to see him go against either Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns who are the current dominant champions of the company, WWE Hall of Famer, Kurt Angle believes that CM Punk wouldn’t stand a chance against a big name from the Attitude Era.

In his latest podcast, Angle talked about what makes CM Punk great and what could have landed him in trouble if he had been with WWE during the Attitude Era instead of the Ruthless Aggression Era.

Kurt Angle believes CM Punk would have been in trouble 

On the latest episode of his podcast The Kurt Angle Show, the Hall of Famer talked about Punk’s return and what it could mean for WWE and AEW. During the conversation, he was asked whether the 37-year-old star would have been a good fit during the Attitude Era. To this, the star of the era replied, “Yeah, I think I think he would have fared well.” However, he believes that Punk should have been aware of Bob “Hardcore” Holly.

Angle chuckled while adding, “He might have gotten beat up by Bob Holly.” He further explained why that might happened. Angle believes that Punk has a reputation for not agreeing to everything imposed on him. Due to this, he might land in trouble.

However, the Olympic gold medalist believes that the Chicago-based star is incredible at what he does. Due to his promo-cutting skills and mic skills, Punk could have been a perfect fit for the Attitude Era.

The former AEW star’s return has been the talk of the town lately. While he has called WWE his home, fans have been thinking about how it might affect AEW in the process. Angle had an explanation for that as well.

Kurt Angle speaks about CM Punk’s time at AEW

Fans do remember CM Punk infamously walking out of WWE back in 2014. This was a big step taken by CM Punk as the star was absent from pro wrestling up until 2021. In the year following the COVID-19 pandemic, the star signed with AEW. Reports suggested that after his signing, AEW had seen a massive boost in overall ratings. However, after Punk left following the AEW All-In backstage events, fans were thinking about how it might affect AEW. Angle stated that fans should not worry as the former WWE champion alone does not define the whole company.

He further added that AEW has been growing regardless of Punk’s involvement. Apart from that, the veteran stated that the WWE star should keep himself out of trouble. Even though he is happy for Punk’s return to WWE, if he stays out of trouble, he will have a good time. While it’s been just one month since his return, there have been no reports of his involvement in any backstage drama at WWE. However, fans do hope CM Punk’s second run at WWE will be remembered by everyone as a good one. Do you agree with Kurt Angle’s comments?
