“There’s no animosity”- Former WWE Champion on working with CM Punk
WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston recently discussed his career and experience while working with CM Punk.
Kofi Kingston has spent over a decade in WWE. The former WWE Champion has teamed up with some of the best names in the business, including CM Punk and Evan Bourne (Matt Sydal). He has won Tag Team Championships with both men.

Speaking on Into The Danger Zone podcast, Kingston mentioned the impact of working with veterans like CM Punk and what he learned from teaming up with different people:
“Like, I loved working with Evan, and CM Punk, and R-Truth, and there’s no animosity. They’re just completely different. I think just having the experience and wrestling with Punk, like, everyone knows his wrestling mind. I learned so much. With Truth as well, he’s been around for so long, and he’s such a chameleon. I will say that with E and Woods, it is a completely different vibe than I had with any of those other teams, anyone that I have teamed with, anyone that I’ve hung out with in the locker room” Kofi Kingston added.

When CM Punk briefly returned to WWE as a talk show analyst, several people were furious that "they got cut off." However, Kofi Kingston held no grudges against the Second City Saint:
“As far as our relationship, I have no sour grapes. A lot of people were I guess kind of mad that they got cut off, but that’s kind of where he was in his life. So you have to afford people that space to be where they feel like they need to be and that’s just part of life and personal growth. I’ll always be grateful for the time that we had and always consider him to be my brother, regardless of what happens from this point forward,” Kingston said. (H/T PWMania)
CM Punk is loving life in AEW while Kofi Kingston has become the 'Hand' to King Xavier Woods on WWE SmackDown. While an in-ring reunion seems unlikely, we would love to see the duo reunited outside their respective promotions.
