Former WWE Star Matt Riddle Criticizes CM Punk for Difficult Work Attitude

Former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle publicly criticized CM Punk, labeling him as difficult to work with and accusing him of constant complaining, despite never having shared a locker room with him. CM Punk's reputation remains polarizing, as Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio also recently mocked and disparaged Punk, referencing his delayed WrestleMania main-event appearance. However, not all perspectives are negative; former WWE star Elayna Black (Cora Jade) expressed gratitude for Punk's mentorship, crediting him with shaping her promo skills and helping her personal growth. Meanwhile, Punk has been absent from WWE television since an attack by Bronson Reed but remains central to storylines involving Seth Rollins’ faction and is rumored to return for a major SummerSlam match. Punk also maintained a positive rapport with fellow wrestlers like Bayley, recently sending her a supportive message via social media. Despite ongoing controversies, CM Punk remains a significant and influential figure in WWE's ongoing narratives.
