- Speaking to Shakiel Mahjouri for ET Canada, CM Punk commented on ring rust upon returning.
I think it was just quieting that voice in my head that doubted anything. Cardio is fine, timing is fine. I was always a storyteller. You'll never see me do a triple-jump moonsault to the floor or anything like that. It's more about tugging on people's heartstrings and getting them to care about me as a human being, really. If I have an advantage over anybody, I think that's one of them. I have this rare connection with the crowd. I just think I need more reps. I need to get out there more in front of a live audience and wrestle. I'll be back to form in no time. I think I haven't missed a beat. That was kind of the goal. To go out there and make it look like I've been wrestling last week. I think mission accomplished. I just want to get out there and here the crowd more. That's all I want to do is be in that moment.
