Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, has been one of the fans’ favorites in the WWE. There’s a reason Dwayne Johnson is often referred to as “People’s Champ” in the pro wrestling industry. However, it seems that former WWE superstar CM Punk isn’t a fan of The Rock.

Yes, The Rock has set a massive milestone in the WWE, whereas CM Punk couldn’t acknowledge the fact. When The Rock returned to the WWE back in 2012, he was in a feud with 16-time World Champion John Cena.

Speaking of the AEW star CM Punk ruled in Vince McMahon’s company as the WWE Champion. Punk was at the prime of his professional wrestling career and amid a 434-day milestone of the WWE Championship run.

Why did CM Punk had a condescending response to put over Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock?

A former WWE creative writer, Matt McCarthy, was asked about Sasha Banks and Naomi‘s walkout incident on WWE Raw. Since McCarthy cannot remember any similar incident during his time in WWE, he recollected a creative feud when Punk was enraged.

Matt McCarthy recollected when CM Punk refused to do a promo or lines provided to him. The AEW star denied cutting the promo because he didn’t want to put Dwayne Johnson over him.

“I remember [CM] Punk being handed a promo about The Rock and him refusing to [say it]. He’s like, ‘So now I’ve got to f**king put over The Rock? F**k that.’ I remember that happening. I don’t recall anyone walking out per se,” McCarthy mentioned.

Of course, The Rock is the biggest attraction that Vince McMahon’s WWE has witnessed. So when he returned to the company in 2012, it was after a decade!

Even though Punk was having a ball with his WWE Championship run, it was time for Dwayne Johnson to battle for the World title after a decade.

The Great One had the last laugh on the Best in the World

CM Punk defeated every opponent on his way to defend his championship run intact. He beat the likes of John Cena, Chris Jericho, and Daniel Bryan. However, Punk was set to square off against Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble 2013.

When the feud started between the two, CM Punk humbled The Rock as he delivered the most fabulous promo. In addition, Punk was pretty confident before his challenge against Dwayne Johnson at Royal Rumble 2013.

“Come Royal Rumble! Understand when you step in the ring, your arms are just too short to box with God,” CM Punk asserted on The Rock.
