Former WWE star and ECW original Tommy Dreamer recently spoke about a small problem with CM Punk's promo this week on RAW.

The Second City Saint made his first appearance on Monday Night RAW in nearly a decade this week. Punk got on the mic and addressed the crowd. He claimed that he was back for the fans. He also put the locker room on notice, stating that the Best in the World was back after ten long years.

On a recent episode of the Busted Open podcast, the former wrestler mentioned the whole promo played out very well up until the last line. He explained that Punk shouldn't have said that he was back for the money because that contradicted his claims about returning to WWE for the fans.

"The only thing that caught me a little, if I'm gonna break down the promo was the end. He was just like, 'I'm back. I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to make money.' That one line I wish was never said. I wish was never uttered. Then I'm like you just said you're back for the fans."

Dreamer felt that the last line took away from the whole promo and made it seem hypocritical.

"Listen to that last line and then go back and listen to his promo. Everything you said was just hypocritical. I get it, it's the last line that camera is right there, I would've just been like, 'I'm back!' " [From 3:18 - 4:42]
