Punk has been a big proponent of giving female stars more opportunities. He has always stood up for women in pro wrestling. Back in 2022, Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of RAW after being upset with their creative direction. The walkout was one of the biggest controversies of the year.
Shortly after, Punk shared a tweetaddressed to the WWE locker room and had the following to say:
"Doesn't matter if your opinion of your coworker is positive or negative. Stand with them. Because they'll do the same thing to you and you'll wish someone helped," Punk writes. "Trust me. You're expendable. Together, you're unstoppable."
CM Punk is currently out with an injury that he suffered earlier this year while competing in the Men's Royal Rumble match. His fans are eagerly waiting to see him back in action somewhere down the line.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
