CM Punk, who was once AEW World Champion, made waves during the July 8 episode of WWE RAW. After being fired from AEW following a backstage altercation, a scene widely circulated through security footage thanks to AEW airing the video for a ratings boost, Punk opened the show with a notable promo. During his time on the microphone, he took another jab at AEW.
Drew McIntyre and Punk’s feud took center stage during that promo. The Second City Saint is eager to confront the Scottish Warrior anytime, anywhere, even in a packed WWE arena. During his promo, Punk pointed towards the hard camera, remarking, “there’s people behind the camera,” before continuing. This brief comment resonated with many.
AEW has faced criticism for low attendance at their shows, with images of sparsely populated arenas frequently appearing online during Collision and Dynamite broadcasts. Punk’s comment about fans being behind the camera at RAW was a clear dig at AEW’s attendance issues.
As CM Punk continues to speak his mind, it’s evident that no one is off-limits. Stay tuned to Ringside News for more updates.
