DJ Hed, the radio DJ known for his work with artists like Kendrick Lamar, recently shared his experience attending WWE Raw when the show hit California last Monday.

A passionate wrestling fan, DJ Hed recounted the event on The Bigger Picture, and also mentioned how he connected with CM Punk. “CM Punk and I share similar perspectives on life,” Hed said, referring to Punk’s well-known straight-edge lifestyle. “I’m a big fan of CM Punk. He advocates for a drug-free life, which I’ve been doing throughout my career.”

DJ Hed praised the current WWE product, highlighting how storytelling has reached new heights under Triple H’s creative direction. “Right now, it’s a cool production. Everyone knows it’s scripted, but it’s about the storytelling, and it’s the best it’s been in a decade. Triple H running creative has changed the game,” he said.

Hed also touched on the current era of WWE, which he described as groundbreaking, particularly emphasizing the presence of two Black women as WWE Women’s Champions and the company’s success in selling out two-day tentpole events. “You can’t fake ticket sales,” he remarked. He also expressed excitement for WWE Raw’s upcoming move to Netflix in January, calling it an “epic” shift in how wrestling content is consumed.

Hed feels a kinship with CM Punk, noting that both of them have been unafraid to speak their minds, whether in WWE or during his time at iHeartMedia.

CM Punk is set to step into the ring against Drew McIntyre inside Hell in a Cell at WWE Bad Blood, and Hed, like many fans, is eagerly awaiting the showdown.
