CM Punk knows how to capitalize on perfect opportunities. Hence, when the chance came knocking, he didn’t hold back. But, there’s something to know about him – Punk doesn’t make huge statements but subtle remarks that can crush the soul. Maybe, this is what he did to Vince McMahon!
Just before the 24th anniversary of the Montreal Screwjob, Punk took to social media and revealed Bret Hart was right. He didn’t bother to explain it, he didn’t bother to elaborate on it.

Anyone who knows the Punk-McMahon and Hart-McMahon internal problems knows what he wanted to convey.
Now, the question is, what was Bret Hart right about?
Was he right to leave WWE and join WCW? Probably that’s what Punk meant considering he left WWE, and joined AEW.

Was he right to punch Vince McMahon before walking out of WWE following the Montreal Screwjob? This can definitely be another thing Punk believes Hart was right about, considering he’s not very fond of Vince McMahon himself.
In fact, the day Punk made his AEW debut is the same day he took multiple shots at Vince McMahon and WWE.
Always remember, Bret was right.

Finally, was Bret Hart right to let things pass and move on, come back to WWE, and make peace? While unlikely considering how much Punk puts down Vince McMahon and WWE, but maybe he believes attaining peace is bigger than holding grudges.
Former WWE Referee Details The Montreal Screwjob Like Never Before
Bret Hart had CM Punk in his Mt. Rushmore
While Punk agrees with what Hart did in the past, Hart agrees with what Punk is doing presently.
Hence, when The Hitman was asked about his Mt. Rushmore of Technical Wrestlers, he named Punk in his list along with others. However, he chose five, whereas Mt. Rushmore is usually four.
