CM Punk addresses accusation of not being a “leader” ahead of the 2024 WWE Summerslam PLE

During an interview with ESPN to promote the 2024 WWE Summerslam PLE, CM Punk commented on his WWE comeback. It was brought up how Drew McIntyre accused Punk of not being a “leader” and here was Punk’s response…

“I never claimed to be one. I’m just trying to do my job. I’m just trying to wrestle. I’m very polarizing for some odd reason.”

“I tend to say how I feel, to a fault. I stand up for myself. A lot of people don’t like that. There is always friction. I will be as polite and as kind to anybody as I possibly can. When they step out of line, I’m kind of the guy that checks them.” (quotes courtesy of WrestleZone.com)

Punk also named his top five favorite wrestlers…

Terry Funk
Harley Race
Steve Austin
Eddie Guerrero
Roddy Piper
