Perhaps designed simply to continue the “loose cannon” gimmick he started with Monday’s RAW promo, CM Punk ranted on fans at a house show this weekend and scored negative media attention for WWE.
Responding to heckling ringside fans at a WWE house show in Australia, Punk verbally laid into the two males, screaming “you have a vagina.” He also called criticized one’s faux hawk before calling him a “homo.”
TMZ picked up the story with a video of the incident, highlighting the fact that WWE works directly with GLAAD on its anti-bullying campaign. The relationship came after the media tore into John Cena and Michael Cole for material that was perceived as homophobic.
WWE quickly responded to the outlet, explaining, “WWE does not condone this type of language or bias and we reinforce that with our talent who are independent contractors.”
