Over the years, CM Punk has been involved in various feuds both inside and outside the wrestling ring, notably with Corey Graves after his departure from WWE in 2014. Despite their past friendship, Punk’s return to the spotlight has provided an opportunity to mend broken bridges and reconcile with former associates.
One such figure from Punk’s past is Corey Graves, with whom he shared a close relationship even before their WWE days.
Despite their history of wrestling against each other on the independent circuit, their bond soured after Punk’s departure from WWE, leading to public exchanges on social media.
However, recent developments indicate a reconciliation between the two.
Graves publicly acknowledged the unprofessionalism of his past tweets and expressed openness to reconnecting with Punk.
Their paths crossed again at the Royal Rumble in early November 2023, where they reportedly engaged in a candid conversation, clearing the air and reviving their friendship.
In addition to Graves, Punk’s relationship with Seth Rollins, another WWE superstar with whom he had real-life tensions, has also seen improvement. Despite their past animosity, backstage reports suggest a harmonious atmosphere between the two during their recent segments.
Although Punk’s injury at the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble delayed potential in-ring confrontations, his presence remains significant.
Set to participate in WrestleMania XL in various capacities, including the kickoff panel and guest commentary for Seth Rollins’ championship match against Drew McIntyre, Punk’s return to action is eagerly anticipated by fans and colleagues alike.
As Punk prepares to step back into the ring, the wrestling world awaits his next moves and potential storylines, eager to witness his continued impact on WWE.
