@CMPunk RT: @yogibthemc1: @TheRock Is there real life heat between you and punk?” Of course not my friend. I love Phillip & he loves me.

Speculation about real-life heat between former WWE opponents The Rock and CM Punk appears to have been blown way out of proportion.

CM Punk explained during his Starrcast Q&A in September 2019 that the two men had a disagreement after he found out that The Rock’s team had written promos for both Superstars around the time of their Royal Rumble 2013 rivalry.

This frustrated CM Punk, who is known as one of the best talkers in WWE history, but they quickly worked things out.

As you can see from the tweets above, The Rock has had nice things to say about CM Punk in the past. He also once tried to call his former WWE Championship rival in the middle of a WWE ring to stop fans from chanting “CM Punk! CM Punk!” during the filming of the Fighting With My Family movie.

CM Punk did not answer because he was out walking his dog when The Rock called. He did, however, receive a voicemail with thousands of fans shouting his name.
