Wrestling legend explains why CM Punk will not be wrestling every week on AEW

On the latest episode of Grilling JR podcast, Legendary AEW commentator Jim Ross discussed why CM Punk won't be wrestling every week on AEW. The former WWE champion is set to start a rivalry with Team Taz in the coming weeks.

AEW has benefited enormously from the addition of Punk to the roster. The Best in the World was able to draw a large crowd on his debut for AEW, which was in his hometown of Chicago. Punk's in-ring debut for AEW, which was also in Chicago, saw him defeat Darby Allin at AEW All Out.

In a recent episode of the Grilling JR podcast, Ross shared some news about the future of Punk in AEW. He pointed out that Punk won't be fighting week in and week out for Tony Khan's brand.

“I sat down the other day on the airplane and just made some mental notes of potential CM Punk opponents,” Ross said. “There’s a year’s worth, at least, not counting returns. [CM Punk] is not going to wrestle every week obviously, nor should he, nor should anybody quite frankly. I love that aspect.” (h/t Wrestling Inc)

'The Voice of the Voiceless' came out to speak to fans after his impressive win at All Out. Punk showed his excitement about all the new signings that showed up at the PPV. The Straight Edge Superstar was then interrupted by Taz. The duo had a verbal spat as Taz mocked Punk's promo.

Punk, annoyed with the comments Taz made, asked him to assemble his team to face the Best in the World. He then made a vow to beat Ricky Starks, Hook, and Will Hobbs whenever 'The Human Suplex Machine' decides to send them to face him.
