CM Punk is a very divisive character, and while adored by many, his dismissive attitude has been known to rub some people the wrong way. This was evident on Tuesday when a fan would question what they were missing regarding CM Punk using Miseria Cantare as his entrance music at Revolution. Of course, longtime fans would know it was because it was a callback to his Ring of Honor run, which featured Dog Collar matches against Raven and Jimmy Rave, and Exacilubar acknowledged this on commentary.
However, this fan seemingly missed the meaning and clearly wasn’t familiar with Punk’s time in ROH. Therefore an unimpressed CM Punk replied with a now-deleted tweet saying the fan was missing “A deep understanding of story telling. A brain.” Subsequently, Wrestling Twitter would blow with some fans siding with Punk and others calling him rude. Now though, the AEW star has tried to defuse the situation by apologizing for being “snarky.” Still, he would also say the fan was being “shitty” to other fans, making the apology seem disingenuous.
Currently, the furor over his original tweet appears to be dying down, with Twitter users looking to find the next topic to be outraged by. Nevertheless, it’s unlikely to be the final time CM Punk causes controversy with his opinions and smart-ass comments, and Wrestling Twitter will be ready to pounce.
