Corey Graves and CM Punk Resolve Their Differences

CM Punk’s strained relationship with some of his fellow WWE stars has been a significant topic of discussion since his return to the company in November 2023. With that said, it appears Punk and Corey Graves have buried the hatchet.

In 2018, Graves reacted to Punk’s UFC fight against Mike Jackson by expressing that his long-time friend “abandoned” him. He also suggested that Punk no longer wanted to associate with him simply because he worked for WWE

Prior to Punk’s return, Graves was willing to shake hands with Punk as well. While speaking to Sportskeeda, Graves indicated a positive turn in their relationship as they are now friends again.

“I am proud to report that it’s all water under the bridge. Actually, at the Royal Rumble, I finally had a chance in person [to talk]. I bumped into him briefly the night of Survivor Series backstage, but it was chaotic. He had just come back. Everything was at 11 at the moment. The day of the Royal Rumble at Tropicana Field, I actually got to pull him aside for a few minutes, and we cleared the air, [and] had a nice long chat.”
