CM Punk threw some not-so-subtle shade at WWE Superstar AJ Styles on social media.
CM Punk’s penchant for speaking his mind is well-documented. Punk has been vocal on social media this week about issues related to the ongoing nationwide protests against racial injustice and police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s killing.
On Friday afternoon, he tweeted the following about other people showing their true colors by expressing their words and actions:
“Lotta people snitching on themselves. When people tell you who they are, believe it. Might be unfortunate and disappointing if you’re a fan of that person, or if it’s your grandmother, but fuck ’em. Good bye! (I yield my time, fuck you)”
Twitter user @titan9 replied to CM Punk and said ‘silence speaks volumes,’ while referencing AJ Styles in particular for not chiming in on current events. Styles has gotten flack for using the “f” word (the derogatory term for gay people) over the years.
@titan9 wrote, “Seeing AJ Styles promote streams and shit but couldn’t be bothered to post anything made it clear how he feels. That was a tough unfollow…”
CM Punk referenced AJ Styles’ history of ‘insensitive’ remarks by saying, “Well. Come on. That one has been obvious for years.”
Punk currently serves as an on-air correspondent for WWE Backstage on FS1.
