As you have probably heard by now, The Rock called CM Punk after RAW went off the air, in front of the live audience in Los Angeles. This came after the crowd was constantly chanting: “CM PUNK” after The Rock mentioned the name of AJ Lee.
The Rock was filming a scene for his new movie: Fighting For My Family that is based on the life of Paige. The Rock ended up calling CM Punk and leaving a voicemail, to the delight of the crowd in attendance.
So how mad was Vince McMahon?
It seems as if Vince McMahon was not pleased with the segment in the slightest. He reportedly sent a referee down to the ring to tell the Rock to stop the phone call. In videos of what happened, you can hear the Rock say: “my mic better not be killed” as he was approached by a WWE worker. The Rock ignored it and would go on to leave a voicemail to Punk with the crowd screaming in the background.

You can hear him talk about his mic getting cut at about 1:15 into the video:

The Rock is one of the biggest movie stars in the world and he can do whatever he wants without repercussions. This is not the first time that the Rock has went off-book. In an appearance last year, he addressed a fan wearing a Hulk Hogan costume in the front row. At that time the WWE had cut their ties with Hogan and they were trying to avoid bringing up his name.

It is clear that the Rock is on a level where he can do whatever the hell he wants. Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
There’s a good thing about it. People would chant his name still, even if he decides to come back. Lot of them will boo him but also chant him.
No body would boo CM Punk if he came back…absolutely nobody, and even if someone would boo they would be drowned out by the rest.
If he came back in his hometown of Chicago it would be madness.
the relationship b/t punk and WWE is worse, IMO, than anyone else in the history of the company. yes, including hogan, warrior, bret, bruno, etc… and here’s why… social media. growing up, we all heard mention of the McMahon steroid thing and Hogan testifying against him. but you didn’t know everything and every angle.
punk went on a podcast and divulged (what I can only assume) is intrical, personal backstage workings.
he shi% all over the company, the medical staff, their pay-offs, unwillingness to give time off for injury, their propensity to give projects to other people. etc…. it was bad. that was a smear campaign as much as punk said is wasn’t meant to “bash WWE”.
Yeah, I would be hard pressed to see Vince forgive that PodCast anytime soon. Punk was pretty savage as I am sure he knew that his time in the WWE was over for good. It would be nice to see Punk in the ring again but I just can’t see it. It would be HUGE though.
