CM Punk opens up about current relationship with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins

CM Punk addressed his relationship with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins during his appearance at ComplexCon. The former WWE Champion discussed his history with both stars, particularly their time together during The Shield’s early days in WWE.

During a conversation with Peter Rosenberg, Punk reflected on his connection to The Shield’s formation and subsequent impact. He emphasized that his departure from WWE was a personal decision rather than related to any conflicts with his former colleagues.

“If you look back at when The Shield, they came here and made a whole ton of waves in a short amount of time. And my relationship with all those guys was pretty good. I just had to get the hell out of here for my own sanity. But yeah, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I think a lot of the questions you have like, oh, what is Punk’s relationship with Roman? What does Punk feel about Seth? I think all that stuff is gonna play out on television because that’s what I do,” Punk said.
