CM Punk first joined AEW in August of 2021 and in the two years that followed Punk feuded with a number of notable AEW stars. Many fans would agree that Punk’s feud with MJF was the most memorable feud from his run with All Elite Wrestling.
When CM Punk returned to TV back in June he declared that he was the real AEW World Champion which seemingly set him up for a unification match with MJF down the line. However, fans never got to see that match as Punk’s AEW contract was terminated back in September.
Now CM Punk is back with WWE and MJF explained on the SI Media Podcast that he’s happy for his former rival while wishing CM Punk the best of luck with his return to World Wrestling Entertainment.
“I was happy for him. Listen, if he’s happy, I’m happy. I think he’s a he** of a talent. At the end of the day, it’s a business. For some reason, with wrestling, it’s looked at differently than any other sport…I see guys get traded to different teams all the time. That’s just life. So he did what he felt was best for him, and the company did what they felt was best for the company. I just hope he’s happy. I wish him the best of luck.”
