Recent developments suggest that tensions backstage between CM Punk and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins are gradually easing, with WWE reportedly satisfied with Punk’s comeback.
CM Punk, known as The Best in the World, made his return to WWE during the 2023 Survivor Series, facilitated by Triple H’s regime.
However, his reentry was met with hostility from Seth Rollins, symbolized by an explicit gesture Punk directed at Rollins during an event in Chicago.
The history of animosity between The Visionary and The Straight Edge Superstar fueled speculation of a potential showdown for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.
However, plans veered off track when Punk sustained a torn tricep at the 2024 Royal Rumble, sidelining him after a vicious attack by Drew McIntyre.
Despite this setback, Punk appeared on a recent episode of Monday Night RAW, participating in a promo segment alongside Rollins and McIntyre.
According to a report by Wade Keller of PWTorch, backstage interactions between CM Punk and Seth Rollins have notably improved, with both performers reportedly cooperating well during their preparations for segments.
Furthermore, Punk has garnered positive feedback for his professional demeanor towards colleagues and management.
Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre has taken the opportunity to engage in banter with CM Punk, particularly due to personal sentiments, finding amusement in trolling The Best in the World.
In a recent interview with Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports, McIntyre expressed his enjoyment in teasing Punk, citing his personal feelings as a contributing factor.
In the latest development, CM Punk announced his involvement as a commentator for the upcoming Rollins vs. McIntyre match at WrestleMania XL during this week’s RAW.
