CM Punk's actions were criticized by Booker T

Veterans and fans have had varied reactions to the Second City Saint's Instagram post, with Booker T feeling it was a 'childish thing' to do.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, the WWE veteran seemed baffled by Punk's decision to bury Jon Moxley on social media.

​

“The thing is, why would you want the world to know that Jon Moxley said that?… It’s like the childish thing I… I’ve ever seen in my life as far as a 44-year-old man, 45, 44, 45-year-old man talking on Twitter. I mean, this is the guy that’s fought in the UFC. It’s the guy that literally… it’s like me in the Rumble, he made an appearance [chuckles]. So, and then to talk tough on Twitter, that’s beyond me man,” Booker T said. [13:50 - 14:44]

​

With Punk's recovery from the injury he sustained at All Out 2022 still a mystery, it remains to be seen whether he can get back in action anytime this year.
