CM Punk Says WWE Never Would’ve Changed Under Vince McMahon

TLDR

CM Punk explained during an appearance on No-Contest Wrestling that he stayed away from WWE for a decade because he believed nothing would have changed under Vince McMahon's leadership, stating "If Vince was still here, I don't think anything was ever going to change. For me at least." Punk acknowledged he could have worked with wrestlers like AJ Styles and John Cena during his absence but expressed no regrets, taking a shot at Roman Reigns by comparing his own 10-year break to Reigns' two-year scaled-back schedule. According to Punk, his return was possible because WWE had finally changed, which he believes wouldn't have happened with McMahon still in charge.
