Former WWE Star Addresses Rumored Issues With CM Punk

The annual Survivor Series premium live event is quickly approaching and it’s shaping up to be a big show. Throughout the years there have been a number of traditional elimination style Survivor Series matches that have taken place at the event which have often led to the formation of some interesting teams.

Back in 2006, Shawn Michaels and Triple H teamed up with CM Punk and The Hardys to take on the team of Edge, Randy Orton, Shane Helms, Johnny Nitro and Mike Knox.

During a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast Matt reflected on the Survivor Series match then directly addressed the misconceptions regarding his rumored issues with CM Punk.

“It was cool. Once we were first around Punk, everybody got along, and still, I don’t have any issues with Punk. I think Punk is extremely talented. I think he’s great. The only thing I said which people will hold over my head like, ‘Oh my God, he doesn’t like CM Punk,’ was just that I think he was wrong in the All Out deal where he called out The Elite and Hangman [Adam Page] and everything else. I just think he was in the wrong there and kinda started that problem.”

“As far as Punk goes, though, I don’t have issues with Punk. I think Punk is talented as s***. He’s very special. He truly is one of a kind, especially the way he connects with people. He connects so deep to people. His emotional connection to his fanbase is unreal. It’s very reminiscent of the way Jeff’s fanbase connects with him because they’re just loyal to the very end, to the ends of the Earth.”
