On the latest “Kliq This” podcast with Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver, Nash discussed CM Punk’s return to WWE. Nash also talked about about Paul Levesque being in charge of creative and his past differences with Punk:
“It’s funny now that Vince has taken a backseat in this whole thing, I see Paul, like, he owns it now. He has ownership of that company as far as when they say he’s creative. His demeanor, his pacing, I mean, he is in complete control of that situation. There’s never been anybody of his talent in the ring. I mean, when he was with us, we were all ruthless and we were all very driven for our success. It’s such a different Paul now. I know that when I was supposed to wrestle Punk, you know, he just got under Triple H’s skin so bad. Paul just came up to me and just said. ‘I’m going to beat him. You’re not gonna wrestle him. I’m beating him.’ I’m like, ‘Cool.’ That’s why me and Punk never wrestled. He’s said, ‘I gotta beat this fu**er.’
On Punk’s interview when he returned to Monday Night RAW:
“For somebody who’s so pipebomb, it just felt very contrived. Then at the end, you know, oh sh*t. I better slip this in so I have some credibility, ‘I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to make money.’ I’ve heard that before.”
On what’s next for Punk:
“Ten years ago, he walked around with a hydrocollator pad on his lower back. He’s been beat up. He worked a very, I’m not gonna say reckless, but just a very indie style for those years in Ring of Honor. He put miles on his body early.”
