There are several stories about Punk being hard to work with. He became possibly the biggest star in WWE following his Pipebomb promo in the summer of 2011. Punk wanted more, and his goal was to be featured in the closing match of WrestleMania.
On one occasion, Punkteamed up with Chris Jericho to take on Edge and John Morrison in Canada. Throughout the course of the match, Punk didn't tag Jericho in, and this didn't sit well with the latter. Things got ugly pretty soon after the match was done and dusted with. Jericho confronted Punk in a backstage area, with his argument being that fans might have paid to see him in action. This was just one of several incidents that prove that Punk could be difficult to work with on some occasions.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
