‘Main Event’ Jey Uso has acknowledged CM Punk.
Following the shocking WWE return of CM Punk at Survivor Series on the 25th of November, numerous WWE Superstars have been weighing in on the controversial ex-AEW World Champion’s arrival.
Jey Uso is now the latest to do so, as during a recent appearance on WWE’s The Bump, the former Bloodline member shared his excitement at the latest edition to the roster, likening Punk to Roman Reigns in terms of star-power.
“Man, sign CM Punk. Why wouldn’t we sign CM Punk? I know he got a whole bunch of haters. If we gonna be honest, he’s a superstar, first and foremost. People talk about him. Anything to do with wrestling, his name’s in it. He like on some Tribal Chief status. He’s top guy, regardless of whatever is going on. So my invitation is open. Bring him. Let’s go. Let’s run it, I’ll be your first one to run with. It’s all good. It’s all love. Let’s go. Let’s run it. Welcome back though, CM Punk,”
-Jey Uso
