CM Punk recently made a high-profile comeback to WWE. This followed his controversial exit from AEW earlier in the year. Punk was interviewed on the Masked Man Show, where he addressed rumors of having a ‘cancerous reputation’ that supposedly carried over into WWE from his time in AEW.
Punk vehemently denied these allegations, stating that people who spread such rumors are trying to control the narrative because they can’t control him or his actions. He emphasized that he treats people based on how they treat him, calling out those who have painted him in a negative light.
Several prominent figures in WWE, such as Triple H and Shawn Michaels, have spoken highly of Punk and praised him for being a pleasure to work with since his return. In the interview, Punk also expressed a desire to face off against Steve Austin in a match and put him to sleep.
The response from WWE personnel and Punk’s own words challenge the negative reputation attributed to him, highlighting a more positive and cooperative attitude in his current stint with the company. His willingness to work with others and his ongoing ambitions in the wrestling world demonstrate a different perspective than the one sometimes portrayed by his detractors.
