Pretty Cool reveals CM Punk paid for all the Ice Cream bars at AEW Rampage
Pretty Cool Ice Cream has revealed that CM Punk paid for the ice cream bars given to AEW fans at Rampage: The First Dance.
Punk's AEW debut at Rampage: The First Dance on August 20th exceeded all the expectations. After delivering a heartfelt promo, The Straight Edge Superstar ended the now-iconic segment by announcing free ice cream bars for fans in attendance at the United Center in Chicago.
Taking to Instagram, Pretty Cool Ice Cream, the brand that produced the ice cream bars, has now revealed CM Punk's idea to hand them to fans, and he paid for them from his own pocket. They also said Punk came up with this idea two years ago. Pretty Cool further revealed their team worked tirelessly to make every custom-made bar by hand as well.
"The big moment- when @cmpunk thanks his fans for waiting, and to grab some ice cream on him. Were you there?! Since we have been getting a lot of questions, yes the ice cream was on him- it wasn’t a publicity stunt dreamed up by promoters. He came to us on his own and asked us to help him do this 2 years ago, and finally the moment was right. Our small team worked tirelessly to hand make every bar, and CM Punk wrote the check for the entire bill himself," wrote Pretty Cool
Post-show, many fans present at the United Center shared pictures of the Pretty Cool ice cream handed to them, which had CM Punk's catchphrase "Best In The World" imprinted on its cover.
