CM Punk got into an altercation with a fan in the lobby of the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas after his loss to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42 on Sunday, as seen in a video published by TMZ.
Punk, who was wearing a Chicago sweatshirt and a beanie hat, is seen angrily slapping a phone out of the hands of a male fan, who was filming Punk’s wife, fellow WWE star AJ Lee, and veteran wrestler Bayley hugging in the lobby just after midnight on Monday.
“Sorry, man,” the fan is heard saying before repeatedly adding, “Sorry, Punk.”
Punk’s real name is Phillip Jack Brooks.
Multiple comments under the video claim the fan had been persistent in trying to take a photo with Lee, whose real name is April Jeanette Mendez, after she initially said, “No.”
