In fact, if you ask Paul Heyman, “The Best in the World” has gone through hell before landing where he belongs — back on top in WWE.

During his in-depth sit-down interview with Sam Roberts, “The Wise Man” explained his thoughts.

“CM Punk is back where he belongs, and that’s on top in WWE,” he said. “And like any other rebel, it’s the old song, you have to go through hell before you get to heaven. And CM Punk the struggle is real, and he is a rebel, to this day he is a rebel, but the rebel would never reach the top, the rebel will never get his due on his own merit if he doesn’t go through pure, blatant, bloody, hell and that hell could not only be in WWE, he had to go through hell elsewhere as well, and everybody had to see it and hear about it and know about it.”

Additionally, “The Evil Genius” addressed his own absence from WWE television.

“What I don’t want to do is just be on television for the sake of being on television,” Heyman said. “Everything we do has to be relevant. That’s the whole theory behind the island of relevancy. If I were to come back at SummerSlam with Roman Reigns, it wouldn’t have meant anything. There was nothing for me to contribute to that moment.”
