We were really, really, really close. Remember I told the story at the beginning of the show about how I missed my son being born? Punk was in Pittsburgh at the time and was actually the first guy who held my son after he was born. Like, we were tight,&quot; Graves said.Graves said he had a falling out with Punk years ago but noted he would be open to accepting his former friend back in WWE if that is good for business and that he would “shake the man’s hand and move on and see what life holds.”#1.
