AEW Dark: Elevation commentator Paul Wight recently spoke to The Ring Report. The former WWE Superstar discussed several topics during the interview, including the potentially imminent arrival of CM Punk and Daniel Bryan to All Elite Wrestling.
‘I’m excited about it. I don’t really know. I’ve heard, of course, some backstage scuttlebutt” Paul Wight began the interview. “I’m friends with Daniel Bryan and CM Punk both.”
“I think if either one of those guys made a serious commitment to come to AEW, they would blow the roof off the industry” the former Big Show continued.
“I think both those guys are incredible talents and they have a lot to offer any company that they join. Both of them will fit and like how they’re treated much more in AEW than they will anywhere else. There’s a lot more freedom for guys like Daniel Bryan and CM Punk to really excel and give the fans what they love most about them.”

“There’s very little micromanaging in AEW” Paul Wight added. “There’s a lot of trust in your professionalism and knowing who you are as a talent and what you bring to the table.”
“There’s a lot of freedom to really amplify that and bring out the most for the fans. Personally, from where I’m sitting, I think it would be an incredible opportunity for Phil and Daniel to come here to AEW. If they do, that’s fantastic’ the AEW commentator concluded.
