This controversial former WWE star has publicly blasted CM Punk.
Following his several years away from World Wrestling Entertainment, Punk made his long-awaited return to the promotion in 2023 and soon elevated himself to the main-event position. While a part of several big matches and rivalries, Punk also fulfilled his long-awaited dream when he main-evented WrestleMania 41. However, despite his smooth second run at the promotion, controversial ex-WWE star Matt Riddle does not share a good relationship with Punk and believes him to be a “b*tch to work with”.
During his interview with Going Ringside, Riddle further claimed that several current roster members feel the same about The Second City Saint.
“They’re still rebuilding. You know, I’m not a big fan of that guy either. That guy sucks. He’s a bitch to work with in the back. (why?) Because he just belly aches and complains. This guy complains about getting multiple world title runs. I’ve heard from my boys that still work there that he is a headache, and this isn’t a storyline, this is the facts. So, this is what it is.”

While both Riddle and Punk did not share a smooth initial run with the promotion, Punk is now back at the Stamford-based wrestling promotion, while the bridge seems to be burnt for the current MLW World Heavyweight Champion.

“Punk is not good for what we do, look, he’s a bad dude I have put it out there many times, I beat him in the main event of WrestleMania I don’t want him anywhere near this contract [MITB Match]. I’ve dealt with CM Punk for far too long, this guy shouldn’t even be in my wind-space. I want him gone. I want him out of here. He doesn’t deserve a spot in a high-profile match like this.”
