CM Punk said something about R-Truth after WWE RAW and fans got angry
The June 2 episode of WWE RAW ended, but things didn’t calm down. CM Punk said something that fans didn’t like. After the show when the lights were off, the crowd was shouting one thing, “We Want Truth”.
This was for R-Truth, whose time with WWE is now over. On June 1, his contract ended, and this news made fans emotional. R-Truth entertained the company for 20 years, and fans showed their love clearly.
But CM Punk’s reply changed the mood of the crowd.
“How dare you chant for somebody that’s not here?”
One line, but it had everything that shows Punk’s style, direct, cold, and unexpected. The arena, which was united for R-Truth, suddenly felt divided. And if you look at CM Punk’s past, this reaction was not surprising.
Was Punk acting or serious? Fans confused, but also angry
CM Punk is known for playing on the edge between story and real life. He often creates moments that seem both scripted and personal.
This time too, it looked like his comment was not random. Maybe he wanted to say something that people would remember. Maybe he didn’t want to insult R-Truth, but just shock the fans or show that today’s stars are more important than those who are gone.
Maybe this was the start of a new storyline. But in that moment, the fans didn’t support it at all.
On social media, fans clearly criticized Punk’s words
Not just in the arena, but online too, fans showed their anger. On X (formerly Twitter), many said CM Punk’s comment was disrespectful. Some even wrote that Punk just wants the spotlight, even if it means putting someone else down.

It’s a joke because people used to chant for him when he wasn’t there. How is this going over anyone’s head?

Now it will be interesting to see if WWE turns this moment into a story or if it just remains a controversial off-air clip.
