Finn Balor Praises CM Punk's Professionalism After Recent Matches

Finn Balor has expressed admiration for CM Punk's professionalism after competing against him twice in 2026. Despite Punk's controversial past in the wrestling industry, Balor found him to be easy to work with and is looking forward to another match.

The two wrestlers faced off first on January 19, 2026, during an episode of WWE Raw in Northern Ireland, where Balor challenged Punk significantly. They met again at the Elimination Chamber, where Balor attempted to claim the WWE World Heavyweight Championship but was unsuccessful.

Balor's positive remarks about Punk align with sentiments from others in WWE, including Triple H, who noted Punk's transformation during his current tenure. The Miz has also remarked on Punk's improved demeanor compared to his previous time with the organization.
