CM Punk:

As the debut of CM Punk in MMA gets closer, two WWE stars have commented on the man...

Seth Rollins...

"He's a guy who led the charge for a long time. He's one of the first indie guys in a long, long time to really shake the main roster in WWE and he paved the way for Daniel Bryan, for myself, Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, and those guys. Say what you will about his attitude and his relationship with the company right now, but I wish him the best and I hope that he is successful -- win, lose or draw."

Ryback...

"From a basic human being standpoint, he is showing courage doing something the majority of people on this planet will never do and that is step in a cage and fight in front of millions of people. I respect he wants to test himself and has the courage to do so. For that reason alone, while I don't condone him saying the things he said about me, I want to him do well. Any man can beat another man on any given night, so I just hope he achieves what he is looking for in this and I will leave it at that."

Mick Foley also sent him a video message offering his support.

Kevin Owens addresses biggest critics:

"Jim Cornette and I have never really seen eye-to-eye. Ultimately, he knew that I could make it if I wanted to but he just didn't think I had the right attitude. But that's just because the way he and I saw things differently. He's been saying that he thinks that I must have changed the way I see things because now I have success and it must be because I changed things. But it's not; now I just work with people who I agree with more. The people who I work with now have the same vision that I do of what professional wrestling should be and what it is now. Jim and I just didn't share that vision. As far as Vince Russo is concerned, I don't think he means a single word of what he says. I think he says all of it to get attention. I think he knows how good I am and that me being the champion is a great move, he's just trying to rile people up."
