Kenny Omega on CM Punk: 'There's no issue between him and I'

Kenny Omega doesn't believe there are any issues between him and CM Punk.

During a Twitch stream on Friday night, Omega spoke about the Brawl Out incident between The Elite and Punk from 2022. The discussion included a fan asking Omega about where things stand between him and Punk.

Omega responded:

Status with Punk right now? I don't know, it's just mutual respect. We reached out to each other. Here's the thing - I can't really think of anyone that I dislike or have like an issue with, especially an issue with wrestling. It's not like, 'Hey, we're good now.' It's - we were never bad. Honestly, if it weren't for a complete other factor, we would have been able to have that talk on the night of Brawl Out. There's no issue between him and I, as far as I know. I don’t think there is at all.

I don’t want to seem standoffish or like secretive about what happened. Like, yes there’s legalities and all that stuff, but even if there wasn’t - and I know this will sound weird because I’ve done a lot of comedy stuff in wrestling - but like, I’m actually not a huge fan of pulling back the curtain on stuff that doesn’t need to be out in public. That's why I'm saying like, if for whatever reason, guys were to fight or whatever, like it’s not for the public to know. That’s just for them to air out their stuff to get it out of their system. That’s all I mean.

Omega said he thought his duty during Brawl Out was to enter the situation while there was chaos, de-escalate it, and create a peaceful environment. He was only able to create a peaceful environment for Punk's dog Larry, which Omega says was the most important thing.
