In an interview with Wrestling Inc, Anthony Henry spoke about his interaction with CM Punk in AEW and the backstage vibe of the company in general. Henry works as a enhancement talent for the company and usually teams with JD Drake as the Workhorsemen. Here are highlights:

On his interactions with CM Punk: “I have talked to Punk a couple of times. He was very nice to me. Actually, when I came in, he introduced himself to me. Which – very nice. That’s a rare thing that usually doesn’t happen. But he just walked up to me like, ‘Hi, I’m Phil.”

On the backstage vibe in AEW: “I haven’t experienced any of that [negativity]. I will say the vibe for me has always been very positive. I never even knew anything was going on at all.”

On AEW compared to WWE: “Like night and day. I did feel like the pressure and people watching you, and judging you and looking for you to mess up almost [in WWE]. And at AEW, it just never seemed that way. It just seemed like everybody’s very supportive and just wants everybody to do well.”
