In the wrestling world, CM Punk is the physical embodiment of everything that is discarded in professional wrestling. Traditionally, wrestlers are men with chiseled physiques and a look of pride on their faces that made them all so appealing as they smiled on the posters. Punk, on the other hand, is not like that; he is tattooed, pierced, and extremely agile.
He has always been backed by wrestling enthusiasts for bringing the fight to his opponents and standing for what’s right. However, saying what needed to be addressed made him quite a controversial figure in the professional wrestling scene.
A similar incident happened on tonight’s Monday night RAW segment, as Punk hushed Logan Paul, but fans showered him with love as he wore merchandise that supported a major public cause.
CM Punk’s cause made him the most loved figure
This week’s WWE RAW was kicked off by Logan Paul, where he quickly got the Cincinnati crowd standing on their feet, chanting “You s*ck” as he disrespected the state. He further riled up the fans, claiming that they did not know how to respect talent and gave the example of Joe Burrow.
The crowd was fuming as he vowed to win the Elimination Chamber and main event WrestleMania 41 against the WWE Undisputed Champion, Cody Rhodes. CM Punk had enough of Paul as he interrupted him.
However, he continued to play the role of a heel as he claimed that the Best in the World was jealous of him and that he had more success in everything he did, while Punk struggled to remain in the spotlight. Things got heated between the two when the three-time World Heavyweight Champion clapped back at the owner of PRIME, summarizing his entire career in just two sentences via X.
He said,
What I see of you honestly, dime a dozen. Loud mouth kid says and does incredibly stupid and ignorant things for a reaction and for the shock of it.
The comment was loved by the audience present at the Heritage Bank Center as they cheered Punk. Paul then slapped his Elimination Chamber opponent as he fled the ring. While the two would be locked in the cage in the upcoming PPV, fans loved it as he came out wearing a CTU shirt that shows his support for uplifting the lives of the teachers.
This is not the first time CM Punk has showcased solidarity to a public cause, as he supported the pride community during his time in AEW via X and even became vocal about the injustices taking place around the globe via Daily Mail. Thus, fans loved him as he has been their voice since Day 1.
WWE Universe backs CM Punk in this Elimination Chamber
CM Punk’s promo against his Elimination Chamber opponent, Logan Paul, was a massive hit, and fans are now backing him as he walked down the aisle supporting an important cause. This made him particularly different from other top names in the industry, as he gave support to major causes when it mattered most.
Fans around the world have noted this kind gesture of his as they took to social media, tweeting for the WWE Star as he made Logan Paul flee from the scene. The fans commented,
CM Punk showing up wearing a CTU t-shirt in support of Chicago Teachers Union is just so special to me since my late father was a teacher.
Punker has always shown support to people who needed it when everyone just cared about merch.
the best in the world for a reason.#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/iTY3MbI99j

He’s projecting Logan Paul as Ryan Nemeth

Exactly. He’s nothing more than a clout-chasing douchebag

With both men locked inside the metal structure against 4 other men, things would soon turn chaotic inside the squared circle as the 6 wrestlers would give their all to punch their ticket to headline WrestleMania.
WWE Elimination Chamber will air live on Peacock and Netflix on March 1, 2025, at 7ET/ 4PT.
