"I want you to interview me on Dynamite"- Wrestling legend reveals what CM Punk told him before AEW Rampage debut

Tony Schiavone revealed that CM Punk was eager to be interviewed by him on the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite.

Tony Schiavone appeared on the What Happened When podcast and spoke about backstage events moments before CM Punk walked out to an emotionally charged Chicago crowd at the United Center. The former WCW commentator revealed that CM Punk asked him to interview him on Dynamite after the original plan for Rampage was shelved.

"It was rightfully decided that he'll do the promo alone. So he [CM Punk] tells me 'I want you to interview me, we'll do it on Dynamite. I want you to hold the mic, I don't want to jerk it out of your hand like others do.' So that will happen tonight," Tony Schiavone said.

Tony Schiavone also revealed that he asked CM Punk about what he would say in his promo and the former WWE Superstar didn't know. The only scripted part of it was apparently the Darby Allin callout.
