In a recent interview with The SI Media podcast, WWE superstar CM Punk discussed several topics, including why he does not root against All Elite Wrestling, noting that he still has friends in the company and wouldn’t want anyone to lose their job.

“I don’t root against them, I think it’s easy to be able to say like, oh he can’t wait until something bad happens to them, but the reality is, there’s a lot of people backstage that earn a paycheck, I still have friends that work there, so it’s not like I’m hoping somebody loses their job or everybody loses their job or something like that, it’s just, I look at it like it’s just not the same business that I’m in, and if you’re trying to get paid and you can go there, go get paid, congratulations.”
