Following the shocking conclusion of his WrestleMania 41 – night 1 main event, CM Punk, in an interview with Daniel Cormier of ESPN, addressed the betrayal by his long-time friend and ringside manager, Paul Heyman. Punk promised to elaborate on the situation on the upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw.
“I got a lot of thoughts, I got a lot of feelings, and you best believe I’m gonna make everybody tune into Monday Night Raw on Netflix tomorrow night to find out if I have anything to say. When I’m gonna say it, it’s gonna be tomorrow night,” Punk stated.
Directly addressing Heyman, Punk alluded to their history. “But, listen, Paul Heyman, I knew who he was just like he knows who I am. We’ve been friends for a very, very long time. He’s done this to me before. Threw a ladder into my head, and I got 13 staples in my head because of it, so he knows what’s coming.”
Punk then expressed his disappointment and the significance of the WrestleMania main event, highlighting his trust in Heyman. “He made his decision just like I made my decision to bet on, again, ‘Maybe, hey, let’s try to do this’ because to me, me main eventing WrestleMania was important to me and I needed to share it with somebody who got me there, somebody who never gave up on me. But now he’s turned on me.”
