What did CM Punk say about The Rock's return last year?

CM Punk had a chat with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour last year and discussed several topics. He also shared his candid thoughts on The Brahma Bull's return.

Here's what he said:

"I like it because, to me, you always want to leave people asking questions," Punk said. "Our audience is much wider than the internet. I know a lot of kids are on the internet, YouTube, and Tik Tok, and all that other stuff, but the TV audience is so much broader, and it's global. So The Rock coming back is huge...gets a lot of eyeballs on different people and what that does is creates an environment where 'okay, you got to step up.'" [H/T WrestlingInc]

Now that The Final Boss is scheduled for a big return on SmackDown, fans are wondering if he will take on a major role at this year's WrestleMania as well.

Johnson pinned Cody Rhodes at last year's 'Mania and came very close to helping Roman Reigns defeat The American Nightmare, until The Undertaker attacked him and squashed his plans. Rhodes celebrated his big win over The OTC with Triple H and WWE's top babyfaces.
