CM Punk and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes had a heated confrontation on WWE RAW, just days ahead of WWE Royal Rumble.
Rhodes stood in the ring at the end of the January 27th episode of WWE RAW after Sami Zayn accidentally hit him with a Helluva Kick. Rhodes started to talk about being a champion before CM Punk interrupted. Punk asked Cody if he was okay, as he noted that it seemed like the weight of being the world champion was getting to him. He noted that he knew what the title could do to man, as it turned him into someone he didn’t enjoy. Punk then said that none of them were Superman.
Rhodes then asked Punk whether he was his friend, and he said he was. He said that he promised Cody’s dad, but he also loved him. Punk said that he saw the road that Cody was on, and nobody could have prepared him for that. He stated that there were no friends in WWE, and he made it clear that he was coming for Rhodes’ title. Punk told Rhodes that because they were friends, he was going to stab him in the front.
Cody Rhodes Hopes CM Punk Can Catch Up
Rhodes fired back by saying that, years ago, he looked up to Punk, and he was chasing him. However, he said that their dynamic had changed, as Punk was now chasing him. Rhodes told Punk that he hoped he won the Royal Rumble so that he could catch up.
