#4 Kofi Kingston likes CM Punk
CM Punk mentioned on his Best in the World WWE DVD in 2012 that he enjoyed working with Kofi Kingston during their Tag Team Championship reign in 2008. The DVD also showed Kingston traveling with CM Punk on his personal bus.
Speaking to Fightful in 2019, the New Day member said he has not kept in touch with CM Punk since the five-time World Champion left WWE in 2014, but he will always be grateful for the advice that he received from his former WWE colleague in the early days of his career.
“Punk, like you heard with a lot of people who were on the active roster, just didn’t talk to a lot of people on the roster. To me, we spent so much time together, I’ll always consider him to be one of my brothers. He’s a guy that took me under his wing when he didn’t have to.”
Kingston also told a story about one time when he was doing push-ups before a WWE show to get the nerves out of his system. CM Punk walked up to him and offered some tips on how to control his nerves before matches.
