CM Punk famously left WWE in 2014, a time many fans considered one of the companys lowest points. While Punk made his return at the 2023 Survivor Series Premium Live Event, he had little contact with people inside WWE before coming back. In fact, he has now admitted that he didnt really have a relationship with Paul Heyman either.
While speaking toJackie Redmond, CM Punk was asked if he had a relationship with Paul Heyman when he left WWE. CM Punk explained that he didnt have much of a relationship with Paul Heyman after leaving WWE. He mentioned running into Paul once at LaGuardia Airport, but their talks were rare.
During that time, Punk was dealing with a lawsuit and other legal issues, so his lawyers told him to be very careful about what he said to anyone. Because of that, his relationships were tough, and his connection with Paul Heyman was no different.
Heyman also believed that Punk had to gothrough hell in order for him to make his return to WWEback in 2023, something that resonated with many. Thankfully, Heyman and Punk have been in regular contact since Punks WWE return, but that doesnt mean he will reveal what favor Heyman owes him just yet. Regardless, fans are happy Punk and Heyman have a relationship again and thats all that matters at the moment.
