Bobby Lashley reacts to CM Punk's return to WWE
Bobby Lashley has shared his honest take on CM Punk returning to the company after almost a decade.
CM Punk was fired by All Elite Wrestling in September 2023 and he returned to WWE at last year's Survivor Series: WarGames. The controversial star appeared destined for a match against World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40 but that will no longer be the case. Punk suffered a torn triceps during the Men's Royal Rumble Match and will be out of action for the foreseeable future.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta last month, the veteran noted that while he doesn't know CM Punk too well, he has always had positive interactions with Punk when they spoke and does not have any interest in drama.
"I was like, oh, that's cool. You know, I know CM Punk. I don't know him really well. I always make my opinion on someone based on my interaction with them, and ever since I've known CM Punk, every time I've talked to him, I've always had positive conversation, everything like that. Nothing negative. What if he said something behind my back to someone else? I don't know about this. I don't know. I don't go into those kind of dramas," said Bobby Lashley. [1:21 – 1:56]
