Punk recently returned to WWE programming for the first time in almost six years as an analyst on weekly FS1 show WWE Backstage, which prompted lots of fans to ask Graves for his opinion on the former WWE Champion’s new role.
Speaking on his After The Bell podcast, the SmackDown commentator chose not to go into detail on his past issues with Punk. Instead, he simply stated that FOX has made a “great move” by recruiting one of wrestling’s most controversial personalities.

Why are CM Punk and Corey Graves no longer friends?
Following CM Punk’s loss against Mike Jackson at UFC 225 in June 2018, Corey Graves posted a series of tweets about the WWE Superstar-turned-MMA fighter.
He criticised Punk for “abandoning everybody who stood by his side” and claimed that his former friend, who held his first son before he did, betrayed his loyalty.
