WWE executive recently affirmed that the inclusion of CM Punk in WWE live shows has undeniably caused a significant impact, marking him as a true needle mover within the company. Brian James, also known as Road Dogg Jesse James, expressed his satisfaction with Punk’s participation in the WWE Holiday Live tour events, emphasizing the tangible influence it had on the show.
During his Oh You Didn’t Know YouTube live session, James shared his excitement about Punk’s agreement to be part of the events, stating, “I couldn’t be happier with the outcome [of the show], couldn’t be happier with Punk agreeing to be there, and being there is a huge thing.” He went on to highlight the increased value of the ticket by adding Punk to the lineup, witnessing a noticeable shift in audience interest.
Discussing the impact of Punk on ticket sales, James observed the needle move once again, emphasizing the rarity of such occurrences in his extensive experience in the industry. He cited the recent trip to MSG as the largest domestic non-televised wrestling event in American history, solidifying Punk’s role in the company’s success.
Notably, CM Punk’s presence at the Los Angeles WWE event, where he emerged victorious in a match against Dominik Mysterio, added to his growing legacy. As 2024 unfolds, Punk has made his intentions clear – aiming to win the Royal Rumble and subsequently headline WrestleMania, emphasizing that it marks the beginning of his story, not its conclusion.
