WWE Champion C.M. Punk spoke with the UK Sun about working with Paul Heyman. "I’m very excited about it," Punk said. "It’s pretty crazy to me. We’ve never gotten to work together in front of the camera. I have worked with him extensively behind the camera. I think a lot of people are in for a treat."

Punk also commented on the fact that he doesn't need a mouthpiece. "Rick Rude didn’t need anyone to talk for him, and Paul Heyman was his manager. Bobby Heenan didn’t need to talk for Ric Flair. Those are two examples of great duos. You’ll just have to wait to see what happens."

Punk also commented on his character's change. "Anytime I get to do stuff hands-on I’m more into it," he said. "To me I started to feel like I wasn’t where I should be at that stage, creatively. And I wanted to get there. To me it’s the name of the game – you have to evolve. You have to constantly change. I think the best wrestlers have always evolved."

Powell's POV: Punk also cited Undertaker and Chris Jericho as examples that have evolved. He also spoke about working with Bret Hart on the night Jerry Lawler suffered a heart attack, why he didn't address it on Twitter, and younger wrestlers he sees potential in.
