3 WWE Superstars who like CM Punk and 2 who dislike him

#1 Samoa Joe likes CM Punk

Samoa Joe was never on the same WWE roster as CM Punk

Samoa Joe is one of the few Superstars who has been friends with CM Punk since before both men were part of WWE.

Like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe faced CM Punk in lots of matches between 2003 and 2005, with their most memorable encounters coming in Ring of Honor.

The two men fought to a 60-minute time limit draw at the ROH World Title Classic event in June 2004.

Four months later, Joe put his ROH World Title on the line again against CM Punk in what turned out to be another time limit draw at ROH Joe vs. Punk II.

Speaking on Eyes on the Game in February 2017, Joe said CM Punk wanted him to join WWE several years earlier when The Best in the World was still there.

“When I came here, I remember for years he was kind of championing my cause to be here in WWE. To see me now, he’s kind of like, ‘Oh, of course, now that I’m not here.’ Between me and him it’s always been a very interesting relationship. We’re kind of like brothers who fight all the time. There’s never a dull moment when it comes to our conversation.”

CM Punk made his final WWE appearance in January 2014, one year before Joe debuted as a member of the WWE NXT roster in May 2015.
