CM Punk apologized to Saudi Arabian WWE fans during the
Night of Champions kickoff party for a “mean” tweet he sent
in 2020.
Punk received boos from the fans who obviously did not
forget what he told The Miz in a tweet which made headlines
back then.
During the event, a man named Mohammed asked Punk to
apologize for his words.
“This guy wants me to apologize for a mean tweet I wrote six
years ago,” Punk said on stage to big cheers and laughs from
Michael Cole.
“Hey listen, legitimately had nothing to do with Saudi
Arabia. I woke up and I was crabby and I wrote a mean tweet
to The Miz and I apologized to The Miz,” Punk said.
With chants of “shut the f*ck up” ringing from the fans,
Punk continued, “And sir, what’s your name? Mohammed?
Mohammed, I sincerely apologize to you. And I love Saudi
Arabia, okay?”
At that point, Punk shook hands with the fan and the rest of
the fans cheered and started a CM Punk chant.
Punk admitted that he screwed up when he sent that tweet and
it was a lesson learned.
“And now here I am and you have invited me to your country
and I am grateful to be here. Thank you very much,” Punk
said.
