Top WWE star CM Punk spoke with Jackie Redmond on various topics, including his long-term relationship with WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman.
Punk said, “We’re friends, we’ve always been friends. Paul Heyman, obviously, is kind of a lightning rod in the wrestling world. I’ve never worked for Paul Heyman, so I think that’s why our relationship has always been really, really good. He’s been other people’s managers, other people’s ‘Advocates,’ other people’s ‘Wiseman.’ For me and him, it’s always just been friendship. He’s never signed my checks, I’ve never relied on him for where my money comes from. Other people who have may have different feelings on Paul Heyman, and I understand that, but that’s, I think, why me and him get along so well and always have.”
On his first interaction with Heyman after he returned to WWE:
Punk said, “Just probably like a really long — for other people — uncomfortable hug, I think. I think everyone was probably just like, ‘When’s this gonna stop?’”
