WWE Hall of Famer’s message to CM Punk following his physical transformation

Speaking on The Phenomenally Retro Podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer, AJ Styles highly praised CM Punk for his recent amazing body transformation:

Quick aside, Punk looks amazing, man. Whatever he is doing, man… it is crazy how sometimes when you get the opportunity to focus on yourself and not be on the road, you know, man, it does wonders for you. You know, get someone to help you with your diet because a lot of times it didn’t matter if somebody was helping you with your diet, you’re still going to have to eat fast food because you’re on the road so much.

And having that time to focus on you and get the proper nutrition that you need and all these things that you can do to get your body feeling better… I get it. I do. He looks amazing. Amazing.”

Styles also revealed what he texted Punk about his physical transformation:

I’m so happy that he looks… I actually sent him a text. ‘Dude, I hope you feel as good as you look,’ you know,” AJ disclosed.

AJ Styles also said that he is proud of Punk for his physical fitness while he is nearing his 50s:

He is… I’m pretty sure he’s 48. He may be a couple months behind me and I’m 49. So the fact that he looks that good is freaking awesome. And I am proud of him, dude. I just… over the moon excited for what’s next because I know what that’s like to be in that position and you want to give it one last hard run before your career is finally up and you want to look as good as you possibly can.” [H/T Ringside News]

Styles concluded by explaining how hard the diet is, deeming it a “sacrifice” for the shredded physical shape Punk is in.
