In the latest edition of RAW, CM Punk had an exchange of words with Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins that defined his role at WrestleMania XL. But during the promo that revealed his upcoming role as a commentator, the three superstars went above and beyond to prove their superiority. Punk called out McIntyre by saying “I ain’t ever have to put another man’s name on a T-shirt to sell it.” This was a reference to McIntyre mocking Punk by wearing merch that mentions how he injured the latter. But unfortunately for the former AEW star, he too has done the same as caught on Twitter. A user shared a photo of CM Punk from his days when he was the leader of the Straight Edge Society, and the T-shirt he wore read, “I broke Big Show’s Hand.” 

The faction featuring Joey Mercury, Luke Gallows, and Serena did not last a year. But the team was still impactful enough that Punk surely cannot forget about it. After a critically acclaimed feud with Rey Mysterio, Punk feuded with Big Show where the stable crushed Show’s hand repeatedly on the steel steps. It was also the last feud that the group engaged in. So either Punk knew he was lying or maybe this stint of the stable evaded his mind. But we also need to factor in the fact that the t-shirt was never up for sale as pointed out by fans.
