There’s no denying that CM Punk is one of the most polarizing figures in the world of professional wrestling, and it seems that everyone has a strong opinion when it comes to CM Punk.
Booker T has never been shy about sharing his thoughts on CM Punk for better or worse. However, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion recently clarified on his Hall of Fame podcast that he has no beef with CM Punk.
“People say over and over, ‘it feels like I have a beef with CM Punk.’ I’ve never had a beef with CM Punk, not once. I’ve never gotten to the point where I said something negative to where, ‘Hey, I want to fight CM Punk,’ stupid stuff like that. No, no. This is about business. When he said he’s not here to make friends, he’s here to make business. In this business, you have to have friends in order to do business. You’re working with a lot of guys that you’ve got to trust in the ring. It’s not like a UFC fight where you don’t have to care about each other. In this business, you have to care about guys you’re working with. It’s just that simple, there is no way around it. If you don’t, it’s going to show, it’s going to show very quickly and you’re not going to last very long.
That’s not something I have to tell CM Punk. I’m not saying that to CM Punk at all. He knows that. There’s a reason why things didn’t work out in AEW, it’s because a lot of those guys probably didn’t care about each other.”
This week on Monday Night Raw, CM Punk announced that he will be entering the Royal Rumble, and he also signed a contract that will make him exclusive to the red brand. Punk’s first WWE match following his return to the company was also recently announced and you can get more on that here.
