“CM Punk is one of the greatest of all time. He’s proven that. He had his legendary moments, from talking to trash talking. But you gotta understand, I come from a long, long line of trash talking who’s been passed down from my cells since [I was] a little kid. It’s in my DNA to talk trash like only Trick Williams can. So if CM Punk thinks he’s ready because he has 30 years of wrestling and WWE experience, he has to understand my trash talk goes back for decades and decades, all the way back to times that none of us were born. I’m that level of trash talker,” he said. (H/T: Fightful)

Former WWE star ends real-life beef with CM Punk

Wrestling veteran Ryback ended his real-life issues with CM Punk and praised the 47-year-old.

The Big Guy shared a video recently on social media and put an end to his issues with the former AEW star. Ryback stated that he was happy for Punk and that the champion was in great shape.

“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.

It will be interesting to see how long Punk can hang onto the Undisputed WWE Championship moving forward on SmackDown.
