A fifth user said, “2 of the biggest staples of my childhood.” A sixth one wrote, “Legends are getting old .” A seventh said, “The funny thing is that Punk looks almost as big as Cena now. John has lost quite some muscles.” Since Cena is scheduled to have a last ride in WWE in 2025, he might also get to exchange fists with CM Punk at some point of time.

Punk talked about what he told Cena after the segment.  He said, “I know he is busy, he’s filming Peacemaker. So I figured he was leaving right away. I was pleasantly surprised to run into him afterwards, and I told him, I’ll be the guy that drags him out of retirement. He continued, “And makes me feel proud that I think if you talk about John’s career, I think you have to talk about me. We’re married in that respect, so proud of him," Wrestletalk quoted Punk.

Punk and Cena have had great WWE rivalry in 2011-2012. In fact, Punk who has had cold relations with several WWE wrestlers in the past,  has been warm with Cena since their early days. The Second City Saint even once acknowledged this live on Monday Night RAW, when he said that he likes Cena more than most of the other WWE superstars.
