“I have one boss when I’m in the ring, and I often like to say, ‘I have no boss when I’m in the ring,’ but the truth is it’s the people, and I listen to them," said Punk. "Sometimes I go with the flow and sometimes I take it places."
"Regardless of the seven-year gap, I’ve been doing this for a minute," Punk continued. "To me, it’s fun just to f*** with people. That’s the whole juice for me. It’s getting different reactions and kind of getting to play with that."
