“He (CM Punk) said some really bad things about me. Talked down about me for years, and the company (WWE), for years. I’m talking some really bad stuff. Called me a bootlicker and crap like that. You don’t know me. You don’t know what I stand for. I’m a loyal person, and I felt pretty insulted by a lot of the ways he treated me, treated the place I work for, treated friends that I worked with. I don’t need to get into any of the stuff with Colt Cabana if you want to look at that kind of stuff, that’s out there”

WWE also tested CM Punk with the Seth Rollins Survivor Series angle. CM Punk’s first major feud will be with familiar foe. Ringside News exclusively reported what brand CM Punk will be part of as well. We’ll have to wait and see how Punk will be booked in the coming weeks.
