CM Punk on the Fan in the Crowd Who Tried to Offer Him Beer, The Thing Joining the MCU

– In a recent interview with ET Canada, CM Punk discussed Benjamin Grimm, aka The Thing, potentially becoming a big character for the MCU, the time a fan in the crowd at AEW Rampage tried to offer him beer, and more. Below are some highlights:

CM Punk on his belief Ben Grimm aka The Thing could become a big character for the MCU: “Obviously, I’m a Marvel fan. Cinematic and comic book and otherwise. I think we’re all crossing our fingers for a really, really well done ‘Fantastic Four’ movie. I’m a huge Ben Grimm [a.k.a] The Thing guy. I think that could be that next quote-unquote underrated character. He’s a lot like Drax, you know? He’s a big, rough, tough, mean-looking guy but he’s gentle. I think that one given the same treatment they’ve given a lot of other characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe could really blow a lot of people away.”

CM Punk on the fan who tried to offer him a beer: “The thing that was going through my mind in that moment was, ‘Man, this guy is lucky I’m not a heel right now.’ But it was a funny moment for me. I was just like, ‘This is hilarious.’ Sometimes it’s not about the gift, the gesture is more important.”
