Kevin Owens is regarded as one of the greatest Superstars in the WWE, owing to his adaptability and eagerness to work with all skill levels. Owens is less excited about a possible collaboration with CM Punk, though.
Despite making names for themselves in Ring of Honor, Owens and Punk have never faced off in a WWE ring match. Fans were curious because, despite their prominence, a backstage interaction on SmackDown last year suggested that there may be some underlying hostility.
Kevin Owens and CM Punk’s Relationship
Owens discussed his relationship with Punk in an interview that aired on the Gorilla Position podcast, stressing the distance that exists between them. He said that although they don’t have a strong relationship and may not get along well psychologically, they nonetheless manage to maintain a courteous interaction when necessary.
Yes, we are not romantically involved. No, I don’t think we’re the same kind of individuals. If we step inside the ten-foot area, we have to say something like, “Hey, hi.” If not, we simply don’t, and that’s alright. It’s all right.
When asked about Punk’s purported transformations since joining WWE again, Owens said he was just trying to be himself and give Punk the same freedom. To be honest, I don’t know that and don’t care. I am the person I am. It’s okay with him for who he is.
Apart from their potential on screen conflict, Punk and Owens had a history of real-life arguments. Fans are awaiting The Prizefighter and The Second City Saint’s possible match with great anticipation.
