Wade Barrett is not happy with CM Punk.
CM Punk cost Drew McIntyre the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WWE Clash at the Castle, refusing to count three on a pinfall attempt and then kicking McIntyre in the dick, leading to Damian Priest winning the bout.
During the post-show, WWE commentator Wade Barrett was not happy with the actions of Punk.
"That was the biggest screwjob in history, just beating Bret Hart. That is the new number one. There is a huge shadow cast upon this entire industry thanks to the actions of CM Punk. CM Punk needs to be fired by WWE management. For once, show some balls. Do what you're supposed to do. This is a guy who was medically cleared to be in contact with any wrestler. He has now materially affected the outcome of two heavyweight championship matches.
"What is CM Punk doing here? He wasn't booked for SmackDown. He wasn't booked for media. He wasn't booked for Clash at the Castle. Are you trying to tell me he got a private jet all the way over to Scotland just to watch the show? He ruined this event."
Punk was part of the post-show press conference, answering questions from the media. During his portion of the press conference, Triple H praised Punk and expressed his excitement in working with him.
The comments did nothing to calm Barrett.
"He should have been thrown out of the building. To invite him to the press conference after that and give him donuts and throw softball questions at him. To have the leader of this industry, the leader of WWE, a man who I respect, Triple H, come out and answer these issues with quotes like, 'I'm happy to have Phil Brooks back. This is the Phil Brooks I want to see. Thrilled and excited to work with him. Thank you CM Punk for helping change the culture behind the scenes at WWE.' I cannot respect any of that. It's nonsense. The man is poison," stated Barrett.
Barrett had to help calm McIntyre down after WWE Clash at the Castle.
Punk stated he will be at WWE SmackDown on Friday. The event takes place in Chicago.
