The heart of the matter
Despite leaving professional wrestling for the UFC, Punk still has kept in contact with friends and acquaintances from the professional wrestling world; WWE affiliated or otherwise.
Punk and The Young Bucks had another twitter exchange back in January when the NHL Jets tweeted a photo of Brock Lesnar and Dustin Byfuglien asking their followers to name a more intimidating duo.
What’s next?
Though the Young Bucks lost all their tag team gold to start the year off, that doesn’t mean that they’ll be without titles for very long. Expect to see The Young Bucks hitting a few superkicks and an Indytaker or two to put some gold back around their waste.
Author’s take
It’s great to see that Punk still has some love for professional wrestling to some degree. Punk only seems to talk about wrestling when it involves some of his friends so don’t expect to see Punk talk about wrestling again for a while, or at the very least when The Young Bucks win a tag team championship or two.
