“There’s a very selfish motivation for me being here. I want to stay ready. Yes, I’m the champion. Yes, I wrestle on television. But to me, I don’t wrestle often enough. I need more reps. I think I’m better the more often I wrestle. There is an element of giving back though, obviously. I have great respect for this business, and I’m just following in the footsteps of the people who came before me. Hopefully somebody watches and learns and observes from me and they can pay it forward when they have the opportunity to do so,” said CM Punk. (H/T: WrestlingHeadlines)

Former WWE star ends beef with CM Punk

Wrestling veteran Ryback shared a video on social media and suggested that his issues with CM Punk were over.

In the video, The Big Guy complimented Punk for being in great shape and claimed that he no longer held a grudge against the popular WWE star.

“No, I don’t hold on to any hate with that name. I’ve said what I needed to say on it. He said what he said on it. It doesn’t make sense to hold on to that forever. Now, that doesn’t mean that we’ll ever be friends. It doesn’t mean we’ll work together, anything like that. It just means that it doesn’t serve me to hold on to that hate … It’s all over with … I’m happy for him on everything. I’m happy he’s back … I’m happy everything’s cool. I think he looks great. I’m happy for him that he’s gotten in better shape and whatever he’s doing is working,” Ryback said.
