Booker T: Don’t Take It Seriously Whenever I Mention CM Punk, I’m Just Trying To Entertain The Fans Of My Show

Booker T has no problems with anyone.

Earlier this month, Booker T brought up an incident on his podcast where he recalled a moment during an NXT taping where he and CM Punk were apparently about to get into something backstage. He would go on social media to address it where he said fans were making ‘much to do about nothing’ when it came to the two.

During a conversation on The Hall of Fame Podcast, Booker T said that fans should not take him seriously when it comes to Punk, Booker is just trying to entertain the fans who watch or listen to his show.

“I saw somebody said, ‘I just want to see you and CM Punk have a fight.’ Look, me and CM Punk, we won’t be having a fight, okay? I want to let everybody know out there, I have no ill will towards CM Punk. Contrary to popular belief, I consider CM Punk a friend. So when I’m saying something about CM Punk, do not take it literally, like the internet and these sites do. Don’t take it seriously. Don’t jump into that mud. If you hear me say anything here on ‘The Hall of Fame’, it’s show-related. I’m trying to entertain my fans. I’m trying to entertain the fans that’s watching this. I’m trying to give you guys a moment where you ain’t got to think about that kind of stuff. Alright? So let me say something about CM Punk, Corey Graves, Michael Cole, Brad [Gilmore], don’t jump into the Internet mess, alright? So let’s just get that out there right now because that story, that 40-second story that people wrote, it was clickbait. That’s what it was, more than anything. Did I put it out there? Did I say it, as far as I had a beef, I was going to run up? Yeah. I said it. I’m entertaining, guys,” Booker T said.

CM Punk has stated that he does plan on being at WrestleMania 40, his reason is that you can’t spell Philadelphia without Phil (Brooks).
