What is going on with CM Punk, Booker T, Ariel Helwani, and Daniel Cormier?

Booker T is in the middle of an intense feud with Cormier and Helwani. It all started when UFC legend ‘DC’ revealed he was in talks with WWE for a commentator/part-time wrestler contract. He said he might get in a feud with Universal Champion Roman Reigns as well.

However, this did not sit well with WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. All three of them got into a verbal spat, with Daniel Cormier and Ariel Helwani calling Booker T “irrelevant.”

Following Royal Rumble, Helwani joked about how he and DC put Booker T back on the news and are yet to receive a ‘Thank You’ from the five-time world champion.

Helwani also said, “Booker T, you sure used up a ton of energy out there, lay off my guy @arielhelwani he’s just trying to enjoy the show, your segment wasn’t very fun. Worry about being entertaining instead of attacking innocent fans watching the show.”

To this, Cormier responded by supporting Helwani. He said he never expects Ariel to be in an Indie music video, referring to Booker T’s appearance in rapper Bad Bunny’s song.

Thank you, champ. It’s an honor to call you a friend. I’d never expect you to appear in an indy music video https://t.co/Mkxs27NMIQ
