CM Punk hilariously responds to the R-Truth chants following WWE RAW.
WWE RAW took place at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the fans made their voices heard from start to finish. Throughout the show, they chanted “We Want Truth” to show support for R-Truth after his recent release over the weekend.
The chants even broke out during the main event, where CM Punk faced AJ Styles and El Grande Americano in a Money in the Bank qualifying match. El Grande Americano scored a shocking victory over both Punk and Styles after Seth Rollins and his new faction interfered.
Jey Uso and Sami Zayn ran down to help Punk, but Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed laid all of them out, leaving them down in the ring as WWE RAW went off the air. After WWE RAW went off the air, CM Punk took a microphone and responded to the chants.
Punk, in a lighthearted manner, told the fans, “How dare you sing someone’s name when they’re not here?” which also drew laughter from the fans. Punk’s reaction was interesting, especially given his own history with WWE after he controversially departed in 2014, which also sparked massive fan support. This time, however, he found himself on the receiving end of chants for one of the most beloved WWE Superstars in R-Truth.
R-Truth spent 17 years with WWE, joining the company in 2008. Before his release, he took part in a program with his childhood hero, John Cena. They faced off at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Cena picked up the win. Just days later, R-Truth appeared on WWE SmackDown and competed in his last match against JC Mateo.
