During the conclusion of Monday’s WWE Raw, CM Punk jumped into the crowd to escape from an enraged Ryback and gives a fan an elbow and punch, which can be seen in the videos below.
If you look closely a fan on the left side puts his arm out and CM Punk smacks the fan behind. Vince McMahon appeared to be shocked at what he witnessed.
According to Wrestling Inc:
Matthew Ignatieff, who was at last night’s RAW, stated that as CM Punk headed up the stairs and stopped during the closing segment of the show. A man attempted to push Punk down the stairs, which was followed by a flurry of fans pushing and shoving him. Punk turned around and told the fans to knock it off, and one of the fans continued to clock CM Punk in the back of the neck, which caused Punk to retaliate.
Laura Cole of CBS 13 reported on her Twitter that she spoke to the fan that CM Punk struck, and the fan is reportedly filing charges.
“Just talked to the fan that says he was hit by @cmpunk,” she wrote. “He says he never hit Punk. This fan says his face is a little warm after he says @cmpunk hit him. He also says Punk broke his glasses. The fan is still filling out a report with law enforcement.”
