AEW wrestler QT Marshall spoke with The Metro about his match with CM Punk from an edition of AEW Dynamite in November 2021.
“He just wanted to work a bad guy in his hometown. We really didn’t communicate too much before the match, and we just went out there, and we just had a good old wrestling match. I think coming into this company, and I think it showed with how he left the company as well, he probably had a lot of trust issues with a lot of people. Him and I were never friends, but at the same time, I knew what my goal was and what his goal was for that night, and I just had a great time with it.
Luckily, I’ve been watching CM Punk matches for 10 years, 15 years, and he really doesn’t change what he does. So it kind of helped out a lot as well. But having the trust to go out there and on live TV with somebody like that at such a high level, to just know that, ‘Hey, that’s your job’. I do take pride in that.”
