CM Punk received a mixed reaction in Saudi Arabia ahead of his title match against John Cena, and The Second City Saint took a moment and apologized to the fans.
A few years ago, CM Punk wrote a controversial tweet on X directed towards The Miz. However, The Straight Edge Superstar's tweet garnered a lot of negative reactions, and fans haven't forgiven him for the tweet heading into WWE Night of Champions 2025.
During the Kickoff show, one fan demanded that CM Punk apologize to him and the fans in Saudi Arabia. The multi-time world champion cleared the air and explained the tweet was targeted towards The Miz and not towards anyone in particular. He ended by apologizing to the fan and Saudi Arabia for his past words.
"This guy wants me to apologize to him for a mean tweet I wrote six years ago. Listen, it legitimately had nothing to do with Saudi Arabia. I woke up, and I was crabby, and I wrote a mean tweet to The Miz. I apologized to The Miz, and Mohammed, I sincerely apologize to you and all of Saudi Arabia," Punk said.
