FIRST OFF WATCH THE VIDEO As you can see this kid pushes punk MULTIPLE times. He "puts on his glasses" and shoves punks head. www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-punk-respond-for-october-8-incident-26058385“During Monday night’s Raw televised event, WWE Superstar CM Punk exited the ring and into the stands as part of the show. Unfortunately, WWE security was 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. Other than this isolated incident, WWE always provides proper security to ensure the safety of our fans and our performers.” “I think the whole situation sucks,” Punk told WWE.com. “It’s an unfortunate and isolated incident. I was up in the stands, surrounded.” “Somebody said, ‘let’s push him down the stairs,’” Punk explained. “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." Atta boy, WWE. Knowing it was SECURITY who was at fault. Not Punk. Bam. PS: I was live at the show here in Sacramento. The fans were hitting him, a lot. So unless you were seeing what I saw, your opinion is mute.

Good to finally hear something from Punk. Hopefully this whole thing just goes away now.

Sadly regardless of what Punk heard, what happened and who is at fault the WWE is going to have an out of court settlement, and a lot of good will press and activities to make this go away. Punk has had issues with fans before and the WWE had to know him crossing the guardrail with or without security was a stupid idea.

Bahhahaha my baaaad. Thanks broo. So the new word is this kid is hiring a lawyer but what the guy doesn't realize is the cameras that weren't showing on tv but on the Titan tron showed him shove punks head. WWE has so much evidence of this kid making PHYSICAL contact with him that he will lose and look really stupid. So many people are filling this kids head with crap that he's honestly believing he didn't touch him.

I still don't think Punk should get in trouble, but he was kind of stupid for blindly swinging behind him. The guy could have had a kid on his shoulder, or some old lady could have stepped nehind him in the shuffle.

Yeah, because we needed ANOTHER thread about this....
And no, other people's opinions aren't "mute". I haven't seen any footage that suggests Sunglasses Guy even touched Punk.
The person pushing and touching Punk in the video isn't the guy who got hit.

"sunglasses guy" should not have been standing close enough to Punk where it would have been an issue...he wasn't in his seat "innocently" he was mugging for the camera like everyone else around him. wrong place wrong time...and his right arm/hand DID come down and smack Punk on the head.
CM Punk- "Unfortunately, I lashed out in the heat of the moment and I apologize

I am on Punk's side with this, but you can clearly see his arm made contact with the back of Punk's head when he lifted them to put his glasses on. I think Punk was right to attack, but wrong to do it blindly.

Well in that case, you are 100% correct

Also, I thought this was really funny....
WWE returns to Sacramento for a Smackdown taping on January 22nd. The presale code on TicketMaster is: SMACKFAN.

For the last time...
Punk's head flinches forwards when SG raises his arm, because the guy to the left of him slaps him in the back of the head. Sunglasses Guy doesn't even touch him.
Honestly, can no one else see this?

Unless Punk ran into the crowd to try and make the scene better, I blame WWE. There was no reason to send him out into the crowd, the point of the scene could have EASILY been made if Punk had simply escaped up the ramp. There was no reason to send him into the crowd when you have no idea what might happen in the heat of the moment as he's surrounded by people who might, and DID ,act like idiots.
