"How stupid are you?" - AEW's CM Punk hits back at fan who accused him of double standards
AEW star CM Punk made sure not to mince his words when responding to a fan on Twitter after being accused of double standards in how he treats fans.
The Straight Edge Superstar first posted on Twitter to remind fans that they shouldn't wait for wrestlers at an airport during a pandemic.
"Still in a pandemic. If you’re waiting at an airport to get stuff signed, you need to stop doing that s**t," said Punk.
A Twitter user would reply with a gif of Punk jumping into the crowd, suggesting double standards.
The dig found its mark, and Punk hit back with an expletive message at the fan and a clarification of the safety practices in place at a show as compared to that at an airport.
"Sure is me, you c**t. At a show. Post vax, pre omicron, had to show proof of vax to gain entrance. NOT STALKING ANYONE AT AN AIRPORT OR A HOTEL. How stupid are you?" said Punk.
Punk's initial post gained the support of AEW commentator Taz, who quote tweeted "exactly" in all caps.
Taz and Punk are former rivals, with the latter coining the popular phrase "Send HOOK" when referring to the former's son who at the time was yet to make his debut.
