Backstage News On How WWE Is Handling CM Punk’s Fan Altercation During WrestleMania Weekend

As previously reported, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk smacked a fan's phone out of his hand when the fan followed Bayley and AJ Lee while they were attempting to have a private moment and filmed them. Bayley had instructed the fan to "get out of here," but he continued filming, leading Punk to knock the phone away.

According to Fightful Select, Punk did not face any disciplinary action from WWE for the incident. The fan later told TMZ, who released the original video, that he did not plan to press charges or sue; instead, he wanted an apology from Punk.

So far, there has been no indication that Punk has apologized or plans to do so. This incident has highlighted broader concerns regarding disrespectful behavior from fans over the weekend, which included other notable occurrences such as WWE Hall of Famer Booker T being filmed in a bathroom and WWE Hall of Famer Sean Waltman being struck by a fan. Additionally, outside of WWE, TNA Wrestling star Elayna Black accused a fan of sexually assaulting her by groping her during WrestleCon.
