AJ Styles and CM Punk have never faced each other inside a WWE ring, but the two Superstars have locked horns on the independent circuit. While the reason for Styles' resentment towards Punk is not clear, his real-life heat with the former WWE Superstar came to light recently.

A user asked Styles about his stance on the Black Lives Matter movement and the reason why the WWE Champion has stayed silent about the movement. Styles didn't answer the user's question, and CM Punk took a shoot at the current Intercontinental Champion. Punk stated that Styles has hollow political values, and it's become crystal clear in the last few years.

A week later, Styles, in an interview, was asked to respond to the claims made by Punk. Styles said that his job as a wrestler is to perform and momentarily forget things that are happening around the globe. He said that he was not going to react to the outlandish things that Punk has said about him and has no respect for the former WWE Superstar.

Taking these factors into account, it's safe to say that Styles dislikes CM Punk, and the feeling is probably mutual between the two Superstars.
