AEW star CM Punk has disclosed the reason behind opting for 'longbois' instead of his signature wrestling trunks.

CM Punk has been a prominent name when it comes to popular merchandise and ring gear. His iconic shirt, the one lightning-clad crossed fists, was extremely popular despite his 7 years away from wrestling.

Punk sported star-embedded colored trunks with matching boots during his WWE days. The signature ring-attire befitted his 'cult of personality' character as die-hard fans adored the clean-cut pro-wrestler look.

However, the Second City Saint opted for long tights aka 'longbois' in AEW, ditching his trademark shorts. Fans have often wondered why Punk made this ring-attire change.

In a recent interview with Ringside Collectibles at San Diego Comic-Con, Punk disclosed the secret on a light-hearted note:

"That’s basically just so I don’t have to shave my legs. The secret’s out. " (H/T: WrestleZone)
