CM Punk Doesn't Feel a Heel Turn Would Work for Him

While speaking to Radio WWE, WWE Champion CM Punk explained why a heel turn in 2026 wouldn’t work…

“The good guy, bad guy thing, I think, is decided by the audience. It’s their perspective. I think I am an incredible black hat that people love so much, it wouldn’t work. I’d still get cheered. It would defeat the purpose. It’s a real double-edged sword at this point.”
