Booker T considers CM Punk to be a good friend.
During an episode of his Hall of Fame podcast. Booker T spoke about his relationship with the former WWE Champion, CM Punk where the five-time world champion has had some things to say about Punk throughout the last decade with his time in the UFC and All Elite Wrestling.
“I don’t know if you guys noticed. On Tuesday night NXT, I ran into CM Punk. We had words. The thing is, it was refreshing. I know people were tripping when they saw me and CM Punk. CM Punk and I we really never had any beef. We really never did. People really thought that when he was in AEW. I don’t think CM Punk and I really ever had any beef. Did I say some things about CM Punk specifically when he was in the UFC? Yeah, I did. I don’t think I said anything derogatory or mean-spirited towards CM Punk at all,” he said.
“We too old to be thinking about beef,” he said.
Booker T will be at the announcers table alongside Vic Joseph when CM Punk serves as the special guest referee in the main event of the CW Network debut of WWE NXT where Ethan Page will defend their NXT World Championship against Trick Williams.
