CM Punk did an interview with TNT Sport on Saturday night. He shared his thoughts on The Rock’s return and his alliance with Roman Reigns in a feud against Cody Rhodes and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
Punk also brought up his past encounters with The Rock, specifically their match at the Royal Rumble, where The Rock defeated Punk for the WWE Title, and their rematch at Elimination Chamber, where The Rock successfully defended his title.
“I think it’s fantastic. Ten years ago, I was the guy that was wrestling The Rock when he came back, and now ten years later, he’s coming back, and I think the landscape has completely changed, right? WrestleMania is two nights now, it’s even bigger. Him coming back only helps. I always say high tide raises all ships. So I’m just happy that even though I’m hurt, I’m still gonna kinda be in the mix. My mouth still works, so I’m gonna still be able to talk some trash. I don’t know if you saw the kickoff we did in Vegas with Rock and Roman and Seth and Cody. It was a lot of fun and I hope to just continue to do that while I’m recuperating because I can always just talk trash with the best of them. It’s the best part. It’s what I do.”
“My heart goes out to Alexander Volkanovski, to me he’s still a champion”
