WWE Spoilers: Paul Heyman addresses CM Punk's walkout on Stone Cold Steve Austin's podcast

Stone Cold Steve Austin aired a two-part interview with Paul Heyman on The Steve Austin Show podcast this week, and we suggest any wrestling fan take a listen to the fascinating discussion. Of course, the topic of CM Punk came up during the interview, and Heyman offered his perspective on the subject.

The interview took place prior to WrestleMania 30, and Heyman said during it that he did not expect Punk to appear at the show barring a significant, surprising move from Vince McMahon and his crew. Austin also asked about the last time Heyman talked to Punk, and Heyman said the following about his friend:

"I talk to him all the time. I don't really talk to him about the industry all that much because it's obviously a sore spot with him. When you left the company, I'm sure you had very select friends that you could talk with and who could talk with you and it doesn't have to be 'What was said about me in the locker room?' or 'Hey, did you hear anything?' or they say to you 'Hey, you coming back?' I'm sure it could be 'Hey, how are your kids? Hey, how you feeling today? Hey, you're okay? Everything cool? Or is everything not okay? You wanna talk about anything?' When I left the company, I stayed very good friends with people who were still in the company. It doesn't mean just because Punk has left the company we can't be friends. Our friendship really had, funny thing to say, but it really had nothing to do with business."

He went on to say:

"I think when you talk about CM Punk/Phil Brooks, there were three people in the room the night that he quit: Vince McMahon, Triple H, and CM Punk. I don't know what went on in that room. I know certain perspectives, but none of those three have talked in public about it. If one, two or three of them decide to go public, then we'll get a perspective on what happened that day. Until one of the three of them speak about it, it's only rumor and speculation and gossip. How's he doing? He's fine. Does he miss the business? I don't think so. I never ask him if he misses the business because he just walked out six to eight weeks ago. I ask him 'How you doing? How you feeling today? How's your diet going? What'd you eat? Hey, did you watch the season finale of True Detective?' We talked about True Detective for hours but do we talk about WWE? It's very rare."
