Posted by Marc Middleton on Friday, January 27th, 2012

- WWE Champion CM Punk recently spoke with Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com going into this weekend’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view. The video and a few highlights are below:

* Punk says he removed himself from appearing at the UFC event with Chael Sonnen in Chicago this weekend and didn’t want to overshadow the main event.

* Punk says he would like to maybe give MMA a try.

* He says he will not be in the 30-man Royal Rumble match but put over Dolph Ziggler and says he is looking forward to making that match more entertaining than the Rumble.

* Punk joked about rumors of Chris Jericho, Triple H and The Undertaker being WrestleMania 28 opponents.

    CM Punk is not the best talker, Bully Ray is.

    I am going to win the Royal Rumble. Kamala is going to be entrant #30, slip and fall out of the ring and his foot(which is me) will be the last foot standing.

    Bully Ray is actually a cool person. My friend is friends with him. But of coarse this was before I became a foot.

    Yea, I believe in karma. Look at you starting with me. I don’t get why you are trying to bully me. I mean look at yourself, you are arguing with a foot.

    Hey, somebody has to stand up to this nonsense. I can’t because I don’t have no legs. One thing I hate the most is athlete’s foot.

    If CM Punk were a smarter man and not so full of himself he’d realise that going over to MMA would be a huge mistake. He’d get his ass handed to him by pretty much anyone in the first round. All these pro wrestlers now have dellusions of grandure because Brock Lesnar successfully transitioned from pro wrestling to MMA and now they all think they could do the same. The big difference is that Lesnar had a legit background in wrestling and was an NCAA champion and even with that he got beat pretty frequently. Punk doesn’t have those things and thinks just because he can throw a few kicks than he is fit for MMA.
