“There is always a level of discomfort to be the best as a wrestler. Remember my match with CM Punk? I tried to get a good match and Punk was very nice, but my main concern in that match was to prove the world that I can compete on par with Punk competitively and in popularity in the arena, specially with someone maybe was earning 50 times more than I was because of everything he had done in WWE, the indies and everything he had done in the past. He is a smart man in the business and knows every detail known, and my goal with that match against him was to prove my popularity was on par with his and I succeeded," Penta said on COMIENDO CARNITAS.

Punk was victorious in the bout.
