5 WWE Superstars who have had issues with AEW's CM Punk

#4. AJ Styles - Legitimate heat with CM Punk

In this case, CM Punk commented on a Superstar who only joined WWE two years after he left; the Straight Edge Superstar targeted none other than two-time WWE Champion AJ Styles.

His remark came during the height of racial tensions in the United States in 2020, and CM Punk seemingly took a shot at AJ Styles in a tweet.

“Lotta people snitching on themselves," wrote Punk. "When people tell you who they are, believe it. Might be unfortunate and disappointing if you’re a fan of that person, or if it’s your grandmother, but f*** ‘em. Good bye! (I yield my time, f*** you.)”

Many WWE superstars were vocal about the matter, but AJ Styles chose to keep quiet about it. When this was tweeted at CM Punk, he responded somewhat vaguely by saying that it was "obvious."

Styles, who later deleted his response, didn't take too kindly to CM Punk's comments. In an interview with the Times of India, The Phenomenal One said:

"I will not react at all coming from a guy that I don’t [have] any respect [for] anyway," said Styles. "It doesn’t really matter. Look, my job as a performer is to perform and get the mind off all the things that have happened throughout the world. I am not going to react to people saying ridiculous and stupid things."

On a Twitch stream over a week later, AJ Styles reaffirmed that he had no respect for CM Punk, so he wouldn't be bothered to respond or react to the popular star. Styles said that, at the end of the day, his job is to perform and get people's minds away from the negative events that happen throughout the world.

Clearly, Punk had an issue with this stance, but the two men haven't interracted much otherwise.
