During a recent edition of his and Karl Anderson’s “Talk’n Shop” podcast, Luke Gallows commented on CM Punk’s return to WWE back in November at the Survivor Series 2023 pay-per-view event.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On CM Punk’s return to the company: “Talk about headlines all week. Here’s the thing about CM Punk in WWE. No matter what your personal feelings are, from a fan perspective, a performer perspective, a wrestler perspective, a friend perspective, and ex-friend perspective, the one thing you can’t deny about the dude is that if you say his name and put him on a screen anywhere in the world, everybody is talking about him.”

On Punk’s reputation: “He’s a polarizing character. That’s what this whole business is based on, being a polarizing character. I don’t think anybody has ever drawn the comparison before, but in a lot of weird ways, if you look at just the pure pro wrestling aspect of it, there are some strange similarities between Dwayne Johnson and Phil Brooks.”
