CM Punk recently issued an apology to the fans in Saudi Arabia.
Last weekend, WWE and several superstars travelled to the Middle-Eastern country for the much-awaited Night of Champions PLE, and a SmackDown episode. On June 27, during the Night of Champions Kickoff Show, those in attendance witnessed a shocking approach from Punk when he issued an apology to the fans present over his past controversial comments.
While The Second City Saint’s comments attracted heavy trolling on social media, with many fans calling him a ‘hypocrite’, former WWE star and Intercontinental Champion Ryback surprisingly came to Punk’s aid. Despite their history, The Big Guy defended The Voice of the Voiceless on X(Twitter), and wrote,
I’ve had my issues with Punk, but I don’t see him as a sellout. He returned to do what he loves and to make money — much like you’re doing by writing critical think pieces about others for clicks.
WWE is a global business, and working at that level means navigating complex deals, personal beliefs, and public perception. His apology wasn’t about abandoning values — it was about how he expressed them publicly in ways that hurt professional relationships.”
Ryback’s comments came after wrestling journalist Brandon Thurston criticized Punk’s statements in KSA last weekend.
Know Everything About CM Punk’s Recent Roast Of John Cena
Last week, during the main event of the June 27 edition of SmackDown, CM Punk brutally roasted John Cena while dressed as Cena’s past gimmick of ‘Dr.Thuganomics.’
Yo, check it, this is Basic Punkanomics.
Don’t adjust your television set, your eyes are working just right. This clown plagiarised my pipebomb so now I’m stealing Word Life.
You had to rip me off to cut your best promo, just to distract from the fact that we all see you move in slow mo.
Remember when he used to rap? You deserve all the criticism, you’re like a Temu Macklemore with Mackle-less rhythm.
He said I’m a problem, he called me a player hater, let’s be honest, John Cena’s buried more talent than the Undertaker. That’s why he’s the champ and went and lost all his respects, but John I get it, I’d retire too if this place rehired my ex.
If you never said your prayers, ate your vitamins or fixed your bald spot, you wouldn’t be a pro wrestler, you’d be a Boston Mall Cop. But hey, he gets good movie roles that much is a fact, and then you see Batista act and you realise John ain’t that.
Same shirt, same hat, man your persona stayed tragic. You’re like a fish bellied white Hulk Hogan but somehow more problematic. Yo, when it comes to Best in the World, I’m your vessel, because millions chant my name and at you they chant, ‘You can’t wrestle!’
Get it in while you can in six months he’ll be gone, I’ll still be here having fun, he won’t have time for you little people anymore, he’ll be busy washing underwear for James Gunn. He’s a superhero now, he works for DC, but no matter how hard you try, you’ll always be the Marine to me. And that’s straight to DVD, better find a PS3, I now understand, ‘You can’t see me.’
It’s a hell of a catchphrase John, but now it’s done, because we all see you and we’re looking at a washed up bum. 14 years ago today, I dropped the legendary pipebomb, and you tried to make it all about you because that’s what you do John, you’re a leech, you’re a phony, you’re a fraud, you’re an a** kiss 17 time champion but you ain’t ever been on my class.
Before you go John, there’s one more wish to make, tomorrow night you’re gonna lose to Kendrick because bi**h, you’re my Drake!”
