Throwback to a young CM Punk meeting and posing with Stone Cold Steve Austin

The WWE Universe has had witnessed several pioneers of the sport since its inception in the early 90s and every single era has been fortunate enough to have their own prodigies. From Mankind, Sting, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, and John Cena to modern-day superstars like Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre, every notable wrestler has gone to have an impact in the promotion’s history. Naturally, there have been a few superstars who have been compared with wrestlers from different eras. AJ Styles is on that bandwagon since he has been compared with WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels a number of times.

Former World Champions CM Punk and Stone Cold Steve Austin have also been compared numerous times by several WWE veterans and wrestling fans over the years. CM Punk and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin had the abilities to turn into heels and a babyface, and their in-ring excellence has drawn them plaudits left right and centre. Although they are no longer active in the current storyline, a throwback picture of CM Punk and Stone Cold Steve Austin surfaced this week, resurrecting the comparison between the two.
