AEW has been taking regular shots at CM Punk about his past in the promotion, particularly regarding the backstage altercation at AEW ‘All-In’. There have been many instances where Tony Khan’s company has called out its former talent for what happened backstage at the PLE. However, CM Punk has also spoken on the same recently, teasing AEW.

CM Punk took a shot at WWE’s competitor. Even though it has been more than seven months since the incident, neither AEW nor Punk has left it behind. After the regular shots, the wrestler probably thought it would be better if he said something in return.

This was a callback to the backstage altercation when CM Punk got Jack Perry in a chokehold after an argument. Although Perry did not suffer any serious injury because of the incident, Punk was criticized because of the same. Now that the CCTV footage is out in the public, several fans have risen in support of the “Best in the World”.

However, the crowd at the live show was rather silent after the Second City Saint delivered the subtle shot at AEW and his altercation with Jack Perry. This made some fans troll CM Punk online.

CM Punk trolled by fans for a silent reaction from fans

Most of the fans used the deafening silence after the dialogue delivery to call out the WWE legend. While others claimed that they did not understand it at all.

First, we have someone who imagined the silence in the arena was similar to crickets going off in the background after Punk took the shot at his former rival.

Another fan talking about how Punk didn’t get any heat from a crowd that was rather lively the rest of the show.

Someone pointed out that the former AEW talent should get off the internet so that he can forget that Tony Khan’s promotion is taking shots at him.

A viewer claimed that Jack Perry is more popular among the audience than the WWE legend.

The verdict on the promo is out and it’s not looking good for the former WWE Champion.

She may not be the first person to claim this among the crowd.
