On contacting Punk after his Survivor Series return: “I texted him that night after he walked out in Chicago. It was amazing. I texted and congratulated him, it was incredible.”

On his own dealings with Punk: “I’ve had nothing but a great relationship with him since the day we met. He’s a super nice guy. He’s one of the easiest people I’ve ever dealt with. Do I give my blessing? 100 percent. I love the guy.”

On Punk’s UFC run: “Look, those were tough fights. You know what else is important? Everybody that he trained with and everybody around him in his camp respected him. That spoke volumes.”
