"Still cryin over Punk" - Fans react to CM Punk and WWE legend being mocked after AEW departure

CM Punk and WWE legend William Regal were recently mocked by a fan for leaving AEW. Both stars had stints in AEW. After their runs in Tony Khan's promotion, they returned to the sports entertainment juggernaut, WWE.

The Best in the World was in AEW from 2021 to 2023. Last year, he returned to the Triple H-led company at Survivor Series WarGames. The current WWE Vice President of Global Talent Development worked under the All Elite banner in 2022. He went back to WWE in January 2023.

Kris Statlander recently posted some pics where she was holding snakes. Reacting to the photos, an AEW fan account labeled Punk and William Regal as snakes for backstabbing Khan and leaving AEW for WWE.

Several fans reacted to the fan tweet on X. Here are some top reactions.

A fan said, "Still crying over Punk I see. lol wild."

"So, dangerous and poisonous to AEW? Good to know," said another person.

Some fans defended the Second City Saint and Regal on X/Twitter.

A user tweeted, "You sound like a bitter ex-girlfriend, little buddy."

"How’s Regal a snake? Because he wanted to go work with his son. God you AEW fans are needlessly bitter," this fan wrote.

Dutch Mantell surprised by CM Punk and Violent J's beef

Dutch Mantell recently spoke about CM Punk's beef with Insane Clown Posse's Violent J on his Story Time podcast. He stated that he was confused with the rivalry.

"CM Punk was just, he was just another guy then. I don't know. I have no idea where this comes from. My association with the Clowns, with Violet J and what's the other's name? Something. Nothing. I mean, I enjoyed those guys." He continued, "I don't know why CM Punk, all of a sudden, got on their bad side. I've heard nothing about it until this morning."

Last week, out of the blue, ICP went on an explicit rant about Punk. He took shots at Punk's UFC career and also lashed out at him for disrespecting him and his group in TNA.
