What happened between CM Punk and the fan who asked him to apologize, captured by WWE cameras

CM Punk had a heartfelt interaction with the fan who told him to apologize during the Night of Champions Kickoff Show. The fan asked Punk to apologize for his tweet about Saudi Arabia back in 2020.

Several top WWE Superstars appeared during the Night of Champions Kickoff Show tonight in Saudi Arabia. Punk was one of them and received massive boos from the fans in attendance.

In a shocking moment, CM Punk apologized to the fans for his profane tweet aimed at The Miz and Saudi Arabia from years ago. He did so after a fan asked him to apologize. During the final moments of the show, Punk jumped down to the barricade and had a candid chat with the fan.

Head over to the 43:35 mark to watch the interaction:

In early 2020, Punk posted a tweet aimed at The Miz, telling him to "go s**k a blood money covered di*k in Saudi Arabia." It's been over five years since then, and he has finally apologized for his tweet.

Judging by Punk's interaction with the fan during the final moments of the show, the latter has seemingly forgiven him for his comments targeting his nation. Wrestling X/Twitter is having a blast, though, and is bashing Punk for being a hypocrite.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
