This is how real grown men interact. Respect to both Punk and Booker 💯

[@thegreatfulgamer5749]

Real talk

[@mshbk1326]

I’m happy Punk called Booker a flip flopper because after that little scrap with Jungle Boy,Booker made it seem like it was Punk’s fault and he initiated the fight

[@Thecultofwrestling]

I think a lot of people didn't know the full story at first

[@experienceanimation217]

Gotta give it to him, Punks got balls like anvils calling out Booker to his face like a damn Man! And building bridges with it. Respect

[@wonipowa7542]

This is I have to say as Cornette said - punk is honest and doesn't play games and tells you stuff to your face and some people just don't like that

[@uzi978]

HHH said it best at the presser... "If you're the same person you were 10 years ago, something has gone wrong." People change, they grow, they mature, they look at life differently as they get older. I know, I'm 50. Opinions and arguments that seemed so important at one time, don't matter anymore. Everyone comes back to WWE eventually. If Bruno, Bret, and Warrior can come back, nothing is impossible. I always thought Punk would come back to be inducted in the Hall of Fame, didn't think we'd see him wrestle in WWE again, but I'm glad to see it happening. Mania is going to be amazing this year.

[@Daniel-b9i3b]

As a fan at home you could see it in his face the minute he first came out at survivor series He looks happy rested content in his life in good shape etc

[@willglenn-bl9gm]

This is what happens when you work with professional adults, Phil seems so much more relaxed and content, AEW reminds me of my current work place and this is my last week before I embark on my CNA journey 😀

[@Keeda96]

CNA! CNA! CNA! 🎉

[@Mrran4life]

I’m glad guys can talk like this to each other’s face rather then leak crap to the dirt sheets. Respect for both men for acting like men not a bunch of kids like the another show

He looked the same way when he first entered AEW 😅. Hope he stay happy.

[@MattCorleon]

You right..I peeped that out too.

[@moeski17]

[@jules8876]

Exactly. Punk's no longer working with children.@@moeski17

[@ptahhoteptmu264]

@@moeski17😂 He started it. He won a world title, cried during the end and went into a disrespectful temper tantrum over a personal issue with a colleague in a press conference. AEW had nothing to do with his issues with Colt Cabana, same person he did the “Pipe Bomb” in WWE to put over, he got his ass kicked and injured himself. He’s “happier” since this is a THIRD chance.

[@TheChadwickbutler]

Glad it worked out between y’all

[@IASP17]

no matter how Punk felt about WWE 10 years ago, after working in that other shitshow company, it must feel good to be working in a company like WWE again.

[@flavaj13]

For all the corporate bullshit wrestlers have to deal with from WWE, it usually just boils down to business decisions, you can respect that. AEW, on the other hand, seems like anarchy by comparison, from top to bottom, random shit because richy rich thinks its cool.

[@JCGaming13]

First half of his AEW run he loved, went the opposite way after the BS sadly

[@americanyoda6764]

⁠@@flavaj13 yeah because putting a superstars belongings in plastic bags after letting her go is sure a good business decision lmao y’all acting like WWE is a sweet angel is just straight up delusional. No need to act like WWE hasn’t fucked multiple wrestlers over. Only reason they get away with it is because it’s WWE lol

[@misterundead425]

Well tbf, The company is completely different from what it was 10 years ago. It's even very different from what it was a year ago. I'm sure the big selling point for Punk was that Vince is no longer fully in charge. since a lot of his problems with WWE stemmed from Vince, like not being allowed proper time off and the toxic backstage culture (In an interview not too long ago, Punk straight up credited management as the ones who fostered the politicking and bullying.).

[@Jeff_Pryce]

He went from working with children to doing business with adults. Big difference

[@Jwjmcc]

Booker t is a professional and so is cm punk they were always going to have good words together

[@wonipowa7542]

lmao I love that Punk called Booker on it and Booker was cool about it

[@RealityOfWrestling]

[@assimo9841]

Good to hear. I actually like stories of respect over stories of people going at each other.

“sometimes you heel, sometimes you babyface…”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭

[@KingGeeKay]

Booker t legit called punk returning to wrestling when punk first joined wwe backstage…he said once you get that itch it’s hard to say no

[@DannyP-dm1pw]

Booker T type of dude that robs your house and comes over the next day to help you look for your missing items.

[@tyremoore3999]

Booker bruh I got to thank you for the work you put in on NXT your commentary is straight fire🔥🔥🔥🔥The highlight of watching

[@MrNatural11]

I love you Book I do but you’ve buried Punk for years especially when he was trying to do his thing in UFC. Again it’s no disrespect but call it for what it is

[@GenAries11]

Exactly thus flip flopper is fitting

[@MrRudyc85]

Booker acknowledges he is a flip flopper.

[@jham7411]

Bret Hart said that he felt like he was carrying around a big bag of rocks. And finally coming back and making peace was like letting go of that bag of rocks. The weight was lifted and he felt at peace. I bet that’s what punk is going through and why he seems chilled out. He was pissed off for so long and he finally let it go

[@pk_1]

Booker would lose that. Because he doesn't coke on his pride. If he did we would have won at wmxix

[@OfficialLeviG]

Love the show, love the content, you guys are awesome!

[@dantheman8152]

Punk looks happier than ever

[@BrizzyTV_]

I’m glad Book clarified that whole thing about him having a beef with Punk. I’m not gonna lie to you, Book sometimes comes off like he doesn’t like Punk. Some of his comments aren’t the best and that’s ok because he’s entitled to an opinion but it just always seemed like he had unfavorable opinions about him which could come off as hating.

[@कृतार्थयादव]

I can agree with Booker on a lot things he says & has said,but NOT a single negative thing that said about Punk I could & still can agree with!!!I mean somewhere Booker also said that CM PUNK'S NOT A DRAW ANYMORE! Are you kiddin' me Or what?!! Punk is the DRAW OF THE DRAWS!!

[@SupraViperhead]

Nobody is a Draw anymore.

[@RIDGEMATIC]

Booker you bypassing kayfabe that you HATE him PASSIONATELY is something i need in my life! 😂😂😂

[@pk_1]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TL2354]

Loser

[@Jeff_Pryce]

I don’t think he hates Punk. Honestly, I think Booker is just really loyal to WWE and doesn’t take kindly to anything that isn’t on “his team.”

[@aljackson875]

Booker!!! That was me behind you in CT haha SUCKY DUCKY QUACK QUACK, you fist bump me so I got to touch 2x HOF rings loved that night man 10/10

[@alesitercrimson24]

Punk wants the end of his career on a better note. He knows this. Thats why I dont think this goes down hill

[@spursyankeesfan1306]

Yeah man CM punk looks very very happy and Im so happy for him

[@TheMJKnight]

PLE.....never gonna sound as good as PPV

[@GuiOmania]

Punk look even different he look way more fit then 4 month ago !!!

[@Vendetta419]

You never said you have beef, but body language speak louder just like words and I remember back on WWE Backstage you didn't look happy when he debuts on it.

[@TimLaddin21]

I feel like punk is happier in wwe he doesn’t have to have his guard up so to speak in aew he did so many people didn’t like or want him there after how things unfolded so it would’ve happened sooner or later I’m glad he’s back in wwe

[@Allen-zj3cw]

Seth vs punk was the one match I was hoping to happen

[@Crow5537]

We’re getting it on the biggest stage and if the promos continue the direction of tonight it may very well be feud of the year

[@etrainH11]

I like you guys a lot but the bias is showing. Cm punk all good now but I can send some time stamps for older videos of y’all being negative on punk.

[@RealityOfWrestling]

And when/if punk does anything Booker doesn’t agree with or like he’ll call that out too 😂 Bookers not shy about saying when he doesn’t Ike something. Just mentioned didn’t like his own students match at NXT last week 😂

[@etrainH11]

As much as I am a CM Punk fan, he is a flip-flopper. He badmouthed Vince and the WWE all the time like in Colt Cabana's interview on his podcast or in the promos at AEW.

@@flavaj13 True, just that with all the bad blood seemingly now in the past, I hope they have a moment together to shake hands & bury the proverbial hatchet.

[@TheKrustyKristy]

Everyone deserves a second chance. CM Punk is getting his 2nd chance with WWE. I love CM Punk. And I HATE how almost everyone backstage In AEW, bullied him. Just like they did with Cody.
