Punk was responding to a tweet shared by Bloody Disgusting editor John Squires. Squires was questioning WWE’s ability to make the most of the talent which they posess, something CM Punk believes he himself suffered from while being part of the company.

“It’s like a movie with a blockbuster budget and cast, but if it’s written by creatively bankrupt nincompoops specifically for an audience of one, in a language nobody understands anymore, it’s…..trash,” Punk tweeted. “But people watch it because they like movies.”

WWE announced releases of Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Lana, Ruby Riott, Buddy Murphy, and Santana Garrett. on Wednesday night.

Punk went on to add that things seemed to be written in a language that no one understands these days and dubbed the product “trash.” He then stated that people keep the viewership going simply because “they like movies.”
