Konnan on How AEW Should Handle Fans Souring on CM Punk, Suggests MJF & Punk Heel Tag Team

– During a recent edition of Keepin’ It 100 podcast, Konnan spoke about how the fans are starting to sour on CM Punk, signaling that it might be time for a Punk heel teen. Konnan said on the fans turning on CM Punk (via WrestlingInc.com), “Listen to the people, you’re not that likable. You’re more likable as a heel. You’re a heel. You’re naturally a heel.” Konnan noted that Punk’s backstage incident at All Out made him more of a rebel, reinforcing people’s feelings about Punk.

Konnan added that MJF and Punk could make a great heel tag team. He continued, “People are basically telling [Punk] ‘Turn,’ which I like. Could you imagine…if they put MJF and Punk as a heel tag team?”

CM Punk doesn’t currently have a matchup scheduled for AEW All In. At the event, MJF will defend his World Title against Adam Cole. Meanwhile, Punk is carrying around his AEW Title belt and claiming he is still the undefeated champion.
