CM Punk has an earnest request to fans ahead of WWE RAW
The last time CM Punk was on RAW, medics stretchered him to the back. The Chicago native is set for tonight's show, where he will address Drew McIntyre's sneak attack and the announcement of their Hell in a Cell Match at Bad Blood.
Taking to Instagram, The Straight Edge Superstar has brought up something several athletes have faced in the past. He articulated a general sentiment his contemporaries have about fans asking for autographs and selfies at airports.
Punk has politely requested his fans to stop doing this, saying that airports are not a place for 'meet and greet,' and that fans should also not use their kids as an excuse:
"Hey guys! Love y'all, but friendly reminder to respect privacy and boundaries. Airports are not a meet and greet. If I have to ask you to please stop following me multiple times you have crossed a line. Please stop this. Thank you. [And stop using your children as a shield or an excuse]," he wrote.
The Undertaker had also elaborated on this a few months ago regarding an incident that involved Rhea Ripley at an airport. The Deadman said he does not consider them fans because they are only "trying to make a buck."
Bully Ray would rather watch CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre III contested under "I Quit" rules
While Hell in a Cell is a fitting stipulation for any feud-ending match between two bitter rivals, the "I Quit" match is also up there among the best in this category. Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his honest thoughts on CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre III at Bad Blood, which is reportedly set to headline the event.
Ray feels that one of them has to quit for them to go their separate ways. On that note, he said that Punk and McIntyre do not really need the Hell in a Cell stipulation:
"There is nothing more humiliating than a man having to say 'I quit' to another man [...] It's Bad Blood, the anniversary of the cell, I get it. I get what comes with the package that comes with this match. To me, this is so personal with Drew and Punk that I would rather hear another man say 'I quit,'" Bully Ray said.
Drew McIntyre not only battered CM Punk to the point where the latter had to be stretchered out of the arena two weeks ago but destroyed Punk's bracelet. How The Straight Edge Superstar responds to this remains to be seen.
