Once the show went off-air, The Phenomenal One took the mic to address The Best in the World. He had a beautiful message for Punk.

We definitely had some hard times, but I’m so grateful that you and I were in this ring tonight. I want to tell you, look forward to everybody else. Thank you so much. I love you, brother.

CM Punk shared his message for AJ Styles.

When AJ Styles takes on Gunther, I just know that I’m going to be glued to the monitor watching, just like all of you.

I don’t care who knows it publicly. It has been a privilege to know you. It’s a privilege to call you a friend. It’s an honor to share the ring with you. I know Saturday is not it, but if it is, yeah, what a hell of a career.
