Per Fightful:
>Cody was reportedly “pissed off” at CM Punk’s interview, as he’s still incredibly close with most of the AEW roster and believes fundamentally that multiple wrestling companies are paramount to success. After the interview dropped, Cody apparently reached out to several in AEW and said that it was “fucked up”. He’s not the only one, however, as the interview was also incredibly unpopular within the WWE locker room (although management loved it, as did much of the fan base).
>This isn’t the first time there’s been tension between Punk and Cody, and some fans believe Cody left AEW in the first place to get away from Punk. Although there’s no concrete proof of this, Cody and Punk have both approached their exits from AEW in very different ways, with Punk outright rejecting the reality that he was fired and claiming that he quit. Cody, meanwhile, has had nothing but positive things to say for the startup company.
>One WWE talent we reached out to said that Punk “isn’t making many friends” backstage, and added that he “gives off creepy uncle vibes around some of the women”. He also received massive backlash for his comments about guaranteed pay, with many wrestlers arguing that Punk himself has been injured for the majority of his return, saying that he himself should not be paid.
>Fightful has reached out to CM Punk for comment but has not yet heard back.
