The Rock Comments On Relationship With CM Punk

The Rock and CM Punk have a long history with one another, with The Rock being one the key subjects targeted in the infamous ‘Pipe Bomb’ promo from Punk in 2011. The pair would then feud ahead of the 2013 Royal Rumble PPV event which saw The Rock end Punk’s lengthy WWE Championship reign, taking the main event spot at WrestleMania from Punk for two consecutive years. 

On Instagram, wrestling content creator allenownz put out a video discussing CM Punk’s desire to main event WrestleMania, stating that as long as The Rock was involved, then Punk would never headline the show. He also claimed that the two men hated one another. This prompted a reply from none other than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson himself in the comment section, who stated that he and CM Punk were friends. 

"First of all, Punk and I have become good buddies over the years. We’re solid. Secondly, whatever match making scenario is best for true long term (not short term) business success- that will be our Mania main event. Lastly, you’re clown."

It was revealed on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown that the triple threat match between CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins would main event night one of WrestleMania 41 this year.
