Ahead of WWE Bash In Berlin, Kevin Owens spoke with Daily Mail and said that he and CM Punk never talked, and had no reason to talk.
Owens said that if they worked together, they would talk.
Speaking on her Eyes Up Here podcast (powered by iHeartRadio), Francine weighed in on Owens' comments.
“You don’t have to love every person you work with. It helps. It’s nice. It makes it fun, right? But, as long as you can work with somebody and they don’t take liberties, you're not stiff; you’re professional. If two people can hate each other but then get in that ring and be professional, then by all means," she said.
Francine continued, “I’ve never tried to hurt anybody. There were people I didn’t like. Not many. I can narrow it down very slim. I have never deliberately hurt somebody, now if you are in there and somebody starts to shoot. You have no choice but to defend yourself. If you respect your job, you respect the sport that you’re in, you should be 100% professional, and you should do exactly what you are told to do even if you don’t like somebody.
"If you can’t be a man or a woman and confront them in the back, have some balls in real life and confront them in the back and say I have a problem with you. Instead of going to the ring instead when it’s unexpected on the fly, you’re supposed to do exactly what the script tells you to do. You take out your liberty there; that makes you a coward. 100%, you’re a coward. Had it done to me. Coward. That’s the only word I can use for it. So, I think you can be professional and you can work with someone you don’t like. It’s part of your job.”
On Monday's WWE Raw, CM Punk reiterated that he's not in WWE to make friends, he's in WWE to make money.
