CM Punk rips Pat McAfee, WrestleMania 42 ticket prices in WWE Raw pipebomb
Monday night’s WWE Raw in Houston opened with CM Punk going straight after Roman Reigns. The World Heavyweight Champion sat cross-legged in the ring and spent the first ten minutes tearing into his WrestleMania 42 opponent. Punk made it clear he was not looking for approval from anyone.
He called Reigns a ‘loser, boring, and plastic’ before shifting his attention to someone else entirely.

Punk turned toward the commentary desk and unloaded on the former NFL punter, demanding he call Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel about lowering ticket prices for the big event.
“Pat McAfee, you buggy whip armed, no brained hillbilly. You think you can come here to the business, my business of pro wrestling, and run your mouth. Well, you just wrote a check that your narrow [expletive] can’t cash,” Punk said.
“You want to talk about ticket sales? Do me a favor, call up that agent that was foolish enough to shoehorn you into this business and this show and tell him to lower the ticket prices. ” Punk did not stop there.
He mocked McAfee’s football career and warned him that a response was coming soon. WrestleMania 42 is building toward a chaotic finish, and McAfee planted himself right in the middle of it. The former Indianapolis Colts punter aligned with Randy Orton ahead of “The Viper’s” Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes.
