Corey Graves Would Welcome A CM Punk WWE Return

There has been a lot of talk recently of a potential return to WWE for CM Punk, who reportedly wants a comeback even though those in power in WWE aren’t entirely on board with the idea.

WWE commentator Corey Graves appeared on The Kurt Angle Show, and was asked about the potential of a CM Punk return, and whether or not he’d be accepting to the idea. Graves responded that he was surprised it had taken so long for someone to ask him about this.

“Listen, Punk was always great to me when I was coming up, we were really really close. I've told the story of how I missed my son being born, Punk was in Pittsburgh at the time and was the first guy who held my son after he was born. We were tight. Fast forward a few years, I don't really know what happened. We sort of fell out for one reason or another. I said some disparaging things, in a very public and unprofessional manner. We haven't spoken since prior to then. At the end of the day, rather than sitting here and wasting everybody's time. I'm a professional. I'm too old to hold grudges. I feel like whatever has happened is water under the bridge. I have a whole different life, I'm in a different place in my life than I was back when all that stuff went down. If it's right for business, who am I to say no? I'm a pro at the end of the day. I would happily do whatever is needed and I would shake the man's hand and move on and see what life holds.”

Graves was referencing comments he made following CM Punk’s UFC loss.
