- WWE Champion CM Punk attacked a fan at the conclusion of Monday’s WWE RAW. It’s unknown at this time what prompted Punk to strike a male fan in the face twice, but Vince McMahon appeared to be in shock at the exchange.

The fan who was struck by C.M. Punk during the closing moments of WWE Raw spoke with CBS-13 report Laura Cole on Monday. "This fans says his face is a little warm after he says (Punk) hit him. He also says Punk broke his glasses. The fan is still still filling out a report with law enforcement... The fan and I just talked for a few minutes and then officers came up and asked to talk with him." Follow Cole on Twitter at Twitter.com/Colereporting.

Yeah, there's no way he's winning the match at Hell in a Cell now. Not unless there was a very good reason... but seriously, it didn't even look like the guy did anything. Looked like he was posing for a picture or something.

After seeing a clearer and longer version, it's not surprising that this happened. It looks especially bad that he got the wrong guy though. He should definitely appologize personally or at least publicly. Some other dude in the back slapped him off the head and that's what set him off. Apparently the guy who did it has been bragging on twitter too.

I don't see this incident costing Punk the WWE Title. WWE has invested too much into Punk's reign to let this change their plans. There is a bigger story at play. There is Punk vs Rock on the horizon. There is Rock introducing a new belt after defeating Punk. There is Rock going into WrestleMania as the defending Champion in a rematch against either Punk or Cena. That's the bigger story. If anything comes out of this, it's just that wrestlers won't be allowed to run into the crowd for a while anymore.

I watched the video. Punk was slapped several times, so I can understand why he spun around and backhanded someone. It's a shame the wrong person took the blow, but the message did get out. Fans shouldn't hit wrestlers when they go into the crowd. I don't think this s a major incident. It came across as a simple matter of a heel acting heelish towards fans. He pushed them. He backhanded one. But he didn't do anything violent. But if there is blame to go around, it should be shared by the fans that were attacking Punk, Punk for putting so much force behind the backhand, and security for not surrounding Punk like they were suppose to.

With how PC the company has become with Linda running for senate, I can see this coming back to bite Punk in the ass. Yeah, he was reacting to fans smacking him, but the news and her opponents aren't going to report that. They're going to focus on one of the WWE employees punching an innocent bystander. :shrug:

I will be completely shocked if WWE takes the title off Punk. It would be a complete overreaction on their part. Plus, has this gotten any kind of attention outside of wrestling sites?

WWE issued the following statement to TMZ.com/2012/10/09/cm-punk-police-attack-wwe-saramento/ regarding C.M. Punk's altercation with a fan that occurred during Monday's Raw television show.

"WWE security was unfortunately not in the appropriate place at the time. Given CM Punk's persona as a 'bad guy' fans were naturally heckling him, but unfortunately a few fans began shoving him and one struck him in the kidney and on the back... WWE regrets that proper security measures were not in place, and CM Punk apologizes for reacting in the heat of the moment."


WWE is blaming building security. :wink:

What happens to Punk may actually tell us where he stands with wwe. If I remember correctly Jericho attacked a woman (Who had also hit him) around the start of the PG era and he had no visible consequences after that... granted, this was outside the arena.

Also, security really is a part of the blame here, I'd say. Usually they're around pushing fans away; especially from their main event guys.

Of course, it's also a risk you take when you leave the arena floor and go into the crowd. No one should touch a performer, but everyone knows its a risk.

The altercation between CM Punk and a fan Monday night has made it to the LA Times website. The article includes a video of Punk hitting the guy in slow motion, and it clearly shows some other fan shove Punk and then hide behind the guy who Punk hit. You can read the LA Times write up at http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-cm-punk-fan-20121010,0,4097749.story.


This is the first I've seen of the story being picked up outside wrestling sites. I'm reading the fan will probably get a pay out from WWE...probably not to press charges. Shit, why didn't Punk hit me?! :lol:

I still don't see Punk losing the title because of this.

Makes him a better heel if they use it.

I agree. Punk is a heel. He's suppose to be hated by the fans. He still gets huge pops. Use this to turn the fans. Don't get me wrong. I do not agree with wrestlers attacking innocent fans, but no one was hurt and Punk really didn't do that much considering he was hit several times himself. I say use it. Use it on Raw this week. Let Punk be the one to use it. Or Heyman.

He was pushed a few times, no one back fisted him or face palmed him. I get it that everyone loves Punk, but he should of had more composure than that.

WWE Champion C.M. Punk spoke with Joey Styles of the WWE website and issued his first public comments on the fan altercation that took place during Monday's Raw. "I think the whole situation sucks,” Punk said. "It’s an unfortunate and isolated incident. I was up in the stands, surrounded.

"Somebody said, ‘let’s push him down the stairs. I got hit in the ribs three times. I was getting shoved and I was getting punched…Then I started getting tagged in the back of the head. Unfortunately, I lashed out in the heat of the moment and I apologize. I’m really just glad nobody was hurt." To read the story, visit WWE.com/inside/wwe-punk-respond-for-october-8-incident-26058385.


The man was punched three times, getting shoved, and heard threats of being pushed down the stairs. Admittedly, he should have handled it differently, but he didn't do anything really violent. He did a spinning backhand and pushed a guy. His punishment should fit that crime. He shouldn't get off free, but he shouldn't be overly punished either.

So you're telling me if you were surrounded by a group of people that were pushing you and had been struck several times, you overheard people possibly plotting to push you down the stairs, and you saw that security were nowhere around, that you wouldn't push people away from you? I don't condone what Punk did, but I understand why he did it.

That's speculation, just because Punk said he heard it doesn't mean it was said, he could be just trying to save what little face he has :lol:

Yeah the security fucked up big time, but all I'm saying that Punk should be held to a higher standard than what I've been reading, everyone around the internet has been a bit too forgiving.

Just as it's a risk for idiot fans to rush the ring and get a few pops from the wrestlers, there's a risk for the wrestlers going into the crowd that's probably inebriated.

I don't think it's that fans are too forgiving. Well, I can't say that for sure since I don't know what you've read. I'm certainly not being too forgiving. Punk was wrong in his actions. I just think the punishment should fit the crime. Taking the belt off Punk now would be an overreaction and would be over punishment. That's what I'm saying.

If you watch this entire video, Punk was clearly pushed from behind 3 times. The third time, the guy he hit, actually does hit Punk in the head with his arm. That is when Punk smacks him. Cybrus put up this gif that shows it very well.

And there is another guy that pushes him in the back at the same time.

looks to me like the guy you accuse of hitting punk is pushed by another chap. he's wearing a white shirt. looks like a douche.

The guy Punk hits does not touch Punk. He says that his elbow brushed Punk earlier, but right before Punk spins around and clocks the guy, someone else hits Punk. In one of the videos you can clearly see some cunt in a white shirt standing behind the guy Punk hits. That guy reaches his hand around the guy and shoves Punk in the back of the head. Punk definitely hits the wrong guy.

Looking at the video in slow motion actually makes me more ticked off at the douche in white who hit punk and bailed. Apparently he was bragging on twitter about Punk taking it on on the wrong guy.
