CM Punk Talks The Walking Dead‘s Daryl And Carol
CM Punk made history becoming the 19th WWE Triple Crown Champion, and was widely considered one of the top MMA fighters when he retired. While many fans were sad to see him leave WWE, they were more than happy to welcome CM Punk back to Sunday primetime.
I never thought I’d get to watch CM Punk live on TV on Sunday nights ever again.. ‘Talking Dead’ last night proved me wrong.

Wow @CMPunk on #TalkingDead he looks rested and healthy. Imagine that. — Lance Storm (@LanceStorm) November 17, 2014
Leaving wrestling behind, CM Punk dished on what couple he’s shipping – Daryl and Carol – with fellow panelists, Yvette Nicole Brown and Tyler James Williams.
“It is completely ridiculous that they [Carol and Daryl] didn’t hook up. There was some sexual tension drawn out there. There’s people who want to see him hook up with Beth, but that’s so weird and ridiculous,” CM Punk said on the show.
CM Punk has been steadily changing his career path, and recently announced he will be writing a new Thor comic for Marvel. In fact, this isn’t CM Punk’s first appearance on The Talking Dead. He has previously appeared in two episodes, dating back to 2012; though he last appeared on the show under his given name, Phil Brooks.
