CM Punk has opened up about his upcoming match against Gunther. The two stars will face each other for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.
The Second City Saint earned the right to challenge for the title after defeating Bron Breakker in a Gauntlet match on RAW this past Monday. He hasn't held a title since 2013, which was over a decade ago. Punk failed to win the WWE Championship at Night of Champions, now he plans to leave The Biggest Party of the Summer as the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Speaking to TVInsider in a recent interview, CM Punk described challenging Gunther at SummerSlam as exciting, and he went on to say some positive things about The Ring General.
"It’s exciting. A tremendous opportunity for me to get to work against arguably the best guy in the business right now. Wrestling is very subjective. It’s easy to say, 'This is my favorite.' Other people may like something else or a different style. I think Gunther can do it all... There is a wealth of talent there. I’m looking forward to putting on a show with the guy. I really don’t know what else to say. I don’t have anything bad to say about him. I think he is one of the best wrestlers in the world, and I know I am. So, it’s going to be fun at SummerSlam," said Punk.
