While AJ Styles believed there would be problems when CM Punk returned to WWE last year, he now says he’s been wrong so far.
On a recent edition of “The Ringer Wrestling Show,” the Phenomenal One opined on CM Punk’s return to WWE and his behavior thus far. He said,
“If you know anything about AJ Styles and CM Punk, you would know that we really don’t care for each other. If you want me to ruin everything you think you know, I can. Here it is.”
He continued, “Past performance predicts future behavior, right? Some over at AEW are my best friends. Love them, trust them, know them. I was expecting a problem when he came here. I was wrong. The guy looks like he’s happy to be here. He looks like a guy that I want to step into the ring with and tear the house down with. So, I can’t wait until that tricep of his is ready to rock so we can tear the house down.”
AJ Styles will be facing off against LA Knight at WrestleMania 40.
Seth Rollins recently appeared on “The Favorites” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including his WrestleMania 31 win.
For those who may not recall, Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania 31 to capture the WWE Championship during Brock Lesnar’s match with Roman Reigns.
Rollins said, “31 is special in its own way because you look at cashing in the contract in the main event of WrestleMania, so surprising, so captivating, and it shaped the industry in its own way. We took what the industry was, we subverted expectations, and pushed it in a new direction at the time. That’s really what we’re looking to take down this guard that is the Bloodline that has had a vice grip on our industry for the best few years. Now you have The Rock back, Board of Director for TKO, we’re ushering in a new era, have a television deal with Netflix coming next year. It’s going to be a huge change and shift in our industry. We’re about to usher that in.”
He continued, “It’s almost tough to say in the moment which one is going to be bigger. When you look back in retrospect, if we’re able to do what we want to do at WrestleMania 40, it’ll go down as one of the most historic game-changing events in the history of our industry.”
