In a recent interview with Sam Roberts, WWE superstar Darren Young shared a story about former WWE superstar turned UFC fighter CM Punk reacting to his story of coming out publicly as a gay man to TMZ.com.

“Him and I had like a love/hate relationship, he was a little rough around the edges, but to be honest with you, one thing about Punk, if I could talk about him for just a second. When he had his match with Brock Lesnar in 2013, that was a couple of days after I made my announcement to TMZ. After this brutal match with Brock Lesnar, he was all iced up and I hadn’t seen him since I made my announcement, so he came up to me in catering and told me to stand up in front of people. I stood up and he gave me a hug and said I’m proud of you and if you ever have any problem with anyone in the locker room, you let me know, I have your back. It was very genuine and I thanked him for that.”
