The reputation of CM Punk has changed for many as the end of his first WWE run was met with him being difficult to work with, and the issues he had in AEW have been well documented, causing him to be released by the promotion following backstage physical incidents with The Elite and Jack Perry.
Changes
When Punk returned to WWE last November, many people noticed his changed behavior and positive attitude. After the memorable WWE Raw segment on Monday night, people talked about the promos that were cut by Punk, Drew McIntyre, and World Champion Seth Rollins.
Wade Keller of PWTorch reported that the segment was designed to feel like they stray into “shoot” territory by venturing into zones where there is known legitimate heat, but doesn’t mean there is or isn’t still legitimate tension or heat between the stars who are trolling each other. Instead, those involved are willing to put their differences aside for business.
Positive reviews
It was said, “while Seth harbored legitimate gripes with Punk, the two are getting along backstage when planning their segments. Punk continues to get all positive reviews from many sources regarding how he is carrying himself amongst colleagues and management.”
Punk will be the guest commentator for the upcoming World Title Match between Rollins and McIntyre at WrestleMania 40.
