Kevin Owens is \”perfectly fine\” with CM Punk\’s return to WWE as the two do not have any kind of working relationship in the world of professional wrestling.
Punk returned to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 in an act that immediately sparked discussions about whether he could co-exist with the roster. Speaking to the Gorilla Position podcast, Owens was asked for his thoughts on Punk\’s return.
\”Well, we have no relationship. No, we\’re not each other\’s type of people I don\’t think. There\’s a ten-foot vicinity that if we enter in, then we have to kinda \’Hey. Hi.\’ Otherwise, we just don\’t, and it\’s fine. It\’s perfectly fine.\
Since Punk\’s return, there\’s been a lot of talk about how the Best in the World has changed since walking out of WWE in 2014, with Triple H making clear Punk had changed during the post-Survivor Series press conference. When asked if he\’s noticed a change, Owens was curt with his response.
\”I don\’t know that and I don\’t care, to be honest. I am who I am. He is who he is, and it\’s fine that way.\
CM Punk\’s Return
While Owens may not care one bit about CM Punk\’s return to WWE, his unlikely comeback has had a lot of people talking. So far, reports about Punk\’s conduct in WWE have been glowing, with the ex-AEW star being open to ideas and eager to help at the WWE Performance Center.
Last month, Booker T claimed that he and CM Punk had a \’run-in\’ at a WWE NXT taping. Many were skeptical of the claim given that nobody saw the alleged altercation and given Punk\’s exemplary track record since returning. Booker quickly said after his initial claim that fans were making too big a deal of things. Booker later admitted that this was his attempt at \”clickbait\” and he was \”just playing around.\”
