CM Punk Says Impact Of Bryan Danielson & Adam Cole’s AEW Debuts Will Be Felt In 5 Years

Many consider CM Punk’s AEW debut at AEW Rampage: The First Dance to be one of the greatest moments in the company’s history and it is hard to argue why. To add to that, his debut might even make it to Guinness World Records. 

Punk himself absolutely loved his AEW debut and it was said that AEW had no idea what Punk was going to say in his promo during his debut on AEW Rampage.

AEW certainly has all the momentum in the world right now thanks to the debuts of Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole, in addition to CM Punk. It seems Punk believes it will take time for their debuts to bear fruit.

While speaking with Sport1, CM Punk talked about AEW’s latest acquisitions and stated that it will take at least five years for their debuts to truly have an impact.

“How much the change from Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson and me really affects wrestling, you will only see it fully in many years, at least five. When Scott Hall and Kevin Nash went to WCW, it was big. The formation of the New World Order (nWo) with Hulk Hogan was huge, but if you look at the long-term effects, it burned out relatively quickly.

Five years later, WCW came to an end. So ask me in five years where will AEW be. As for the comparison, I never said Adam, Bryan, and I were bigger than the nWo, I said the change felt bigger for us than the changes back then. This is my opinion. Others may disagree, that’s cool too. In five years, you will be able to judge it correctly. ”

With all three stars being involved in storylines in the company, it remains to be seen if CM Punk’s words will turn out to be true in due time.
