CM Punk has been one of WWE’s top performers over the past year, delivering standout matches even at 47. While some fans view him as fragile and past his prime, a surprising voice has entered the debate, one of his former rivals, Ryback. However, instead of tarnishing Punk’s legacy, he has stepped in to defend The Best in the World, enduring spirit as a true professional wrestler.
Taking to X, Ryback responded to a fan’s claim that The Second City Saint is old and fragile. He argued that Punk’s condition wasn’t fragility but rather great selling. The discussion stemmed from Punk’s recent match against Sami Zayn on Raw, where the 47-year-old appeared fatigued. Ryback defended Punk, stating that his exhaustion was a sign of effective storytelling, making the match feel real.
It’s called selling you feed me moron. Good to see you “fans” are pieces of shit equally to everyone in the business though.

Despite the criticism, Punk has earned a spot in the Elimination Chamber match. He will compete against John Cena and four other stars for a chance to headline WrestleMania on the line. With WWE’s ever-changing landscape, his path to the main event remains uncertain. It will be interesting to see how his story unfolds in the coming weeks.
CM Punk confirms WWE press conferences are real
Over the past two years, WWE has emphasized that it is sports entertainment rather than traditional wrestling. As part of this approach, the company has been incorporating press conferences and kickoff shows before premium live events. Recently, CM Punk addressed these press conferences, revealing that they are unscripted and not just another staged element of the show.
Speaking on the Good Guy/Bad Guy podcast, The Best in the World shared insights into WWE’s media scrums. He revealed that there are no set rules or guidelines for superstars to follow during these sessions. According to Punk, the press conferences are 100% real, with wrestlers answering questions freely without a predetermined structure.
Well, I think in the press conferences, you’re just sitting out there in real-time fielding and asking and answering questions. So yeah, it’s a shoot because there’s nobody telling you what to say. There’s no writer, you don’t got a script. Somebody asks and you answer.
