Braun Strowman recently commented on CM Punk's shocking return to the company.

Strowman has been with an injury since earlier this year and has undergone successful neck fusion surgery. Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta in an exclusive interview, The Monster of All Monsters commented on Punk's return to the promotion at WWE Survivor Series last month.

Strowman stated that Punk is just doing his job and admitted that he has heard mixed things about what kind of person he is backstage. However, Strowman said that he will find out for himself when he meets CM Punk down the line.

"He's doing his job," Strowman said. "At the end of the day, our job is to put eyes on the product and butts in seats, and, well, it looks like he's doing it. I've heard mixed reviews from multiple people on what kind of person he is. I'll find out when I meet him, and he can get in line and get these hands just like anybody else." [3:53 – 4:07]
