Considering all three former WWE Superstars are working with AEW, it’s become déjà vu for some fans. In fact, even Punk understands there is a strong resemblance to a moment from the past.
It so happened that years back when Kevin Nash and Scott Hall were working actively. However, they both switched companies and started working with WCW. Now, it could be said that history is repeating itself with Adam Cole, Daniel Bryan, and Punk working with a rival company.
However, Punk believes that what they have now is much bigger than what Nash and Hall had done back in the day. He may have a point because prior to changing companies, all three of them gathered significant experience from the company. This experience will help them climb the AEW roster and make their way to the top.
CM Punk: "I'm not Hogan, I'm not Savage, Daniel Bryan and Adam Cole, they're not The Outsiders. I see the parallels. This is totally different. And I'll go ahead and say it, people can quote me, they'll be pissed off about it, to me, this is bigger."
