CM Punk references Vince McMahon, lower ticket prices in WWE Raw promo
CM Punk had another pipe bomb on Monday.
During his promo that opened Raw, the World Heavyweight Champion addressed his WrestleMania opponent Roman Reigns, who wasn’t there, taking shots at him, his family including The Rock, TKO, and a “weird old man,” referencing Vince McMahon.
“You’re a bucktoothed nepo baby who ate dog food for a weird, old man,” Punk said, referencing an angle involving Reigns from years ago. “That weird old man for years treated me like a dog and he expected me to smile, but I had ‘f you’ money so I took that and my dignity and left.”
Eventually, he turned his attention to Pat McAfee, who was recently revealed as the mystery caller that had been guiding Randy Orton. Punk dismissed the idea, giving McAfree a blunt instruction.
“You want to talk about ticket sales? Do me a favor and call up that agent that was foolish enough to shoehorn you into this business and this show and tell him to lower the ticket prices,” he said, causing the fans in Houston to cheer.
“Lower the ticket prices because I want all of these families to come watch me stand on Roman Reigns’ throat at WrestleMania. Because my name is CM Punk, and I approve this message,” he concluded.
Reigns did not appear during the promo. The last time the two met, it was Punk returning the favor from the previous week by sending Reigns through an announce table.
