Sami Zayn and CM Punk Patch Things Up

When asked about CM Punk, WWE superstar and current Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn opened up about their relationship. In an interview with Gorilla Position, Zayn revealed that he and Punk recently had a conversation that helped clear the air between them. He admitted that there had been some awkwardness in their interactions, similar to the dynamic between Punk and Zayn’s best friend Kevin Owens. However, Zayn made a conscious decision not to let any negative feelings linger, especially since they are both working for WWE.

Zayn shared, “I’ve known him for a very long time. There’s been some ups, there’s been some downs. He showed up and I was like, ‘I just don’t want this to be weird. Say whatever you need to say.’ He said his peace, I said my peace. Clean slate. That’s it. You just can’t walk around harboring resentment. I just don’t want him to walk by and be like a black cloud. I work here, and vice versa. I don’t want him to see me and [groans]. Whatever happened, cards on the table, clean slate. Good? Good.” Zayn emphasized that holding grudges is exhausting and only brings negativity, and he preferred to start fresh with Punk.

With the 2024 WWE draft kicking off on tonight’s SmackDown, Zayn can rest easy knowing he’ll remain on Raw due to holding the Intercontinental Championship. Fans can listen to Zayn’s full interview on Gorilla Position by following the link below.
