CM Punk addressed his Undisputed WWE Championship victory over Sami Zayn in his first comments since the win last Monday.
Speaking on Stephanie McMahon's "What's Your Story" podcast, Punk stated that he beat the 41-year-old Zayn "fair and square in the middle of the ring."
The victory took place on WWE Raw in Chicago, Punk's hometown. He noted the parallel to his 2011 title win, saying the moment "rhymes" with history.
Zayn expressed frustration after the loss, questioning how Punk could return after months away and claim the title he had held for only nine days.
