When the cameras stopped rolling inside Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for the Monday, January 26, 2026 episode of WWE Raw on Netflix, CM Punk paid homage to AJ Styles.
Following their battle for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the 1/26 WWE Raw main event, "The Best in the World" spoke some kind words to "The Phenomenal" one in a post-show moment that fans captured on video.
“Look I don’t know what happens in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia when AJ Styles takes on Gunther, I just know that I’m going to be glued to the monitor watching just like every one of you,” Punk said of Styles. “I mean this when I say it, AJ, I whispered it to you earlier: I don’t care who knows it publicly, it has been a privilege to know you.”
He added, “It’s a privilege to call you (a) friend, it’s an honor to be in the ring with you. I speak as a fan, I hope Saturday’s not it, but if it is- man, what a hell of a career. I love you brother, thank you.”
