Former WWE producer Jimmy Jacobs talks about his encounter CM Punk

Former WWE producer and writer Jimmy Jacobs shared his first encounter with AEW star CM Punk.

During an interview with Conrad Thompson on The Insiders, Jacobs revealed that Punk wasn't initially friendly towards him. However, it was the Second City Saint who approached him about giving him a tape to pass on to Gabe, showcasing the impact he had on Jacobs' career.

"He was not kind to me very early on. He thought I was an idiot, and I probably was. It was Punk who approached me about giving him a tape to give to Gabe," he continued. "So if it weren't for Punk, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you right now."

Jacobs also praised Punk as a loyal performer with incredible talent and a captivating presence:

"Punk was loyal to the people around him and who he saw worked hard. Punk's a great performer, he's a great promo," he declared. "He has a real 'it' factor, and he always did. His success is no accident. It's unfortunate to see how the stuff in AEW went down. As a performer, he's an asset."

With both Punk's returns to AEW and Jacobs signing with the promotion, fans eagerly anticipate what lies ahead.
