WWE Accused of Confiscating CM Punk-Palestine Sign During RAW Broadcast

The June 9, 2025 edition of Monday Night Raw saw CM Punk and John Cena engage in a heated promo battle. During the segment, there was a CM Punk sign with a Palestine flag but it appears WWE had that sign confiscated.

A fan took to TikTok and revealed that he took his son to Monday Night Raw this week, and the son was holding a sign featuring his favorite wrestler CM Punk alongside a message representing his home country, Palestine.

“Took my son to see #WWERaw, and he wanted to bring a sign of his favorite wrestler @CMPunk along with his home country to represent!”

The fan pointed out how the sign was clearly visible during the broadcast, and the family received messages from viewers who saw it on TV. They also got a glimpse of it displayed on the big screen inside the arena. However, after a camera shot that showed John Cena and the sign, security came and took it away.

“Our sign was clearly visible on TV — we got messages from tons of people watching at home! We even saw the sign on the big screen at the arena! Nice shot of #JohnCena right before it happened. But right after that shot… security came and took our sign.”

The parent later said it was hard to explain to their son why they weren’t allowed to show support for Palestine, especially when he asked, “Why don’t they like Palestine?”

“WWE took my son’s sign away last night on Raw. Honestly, it feels terrible having to explain that to my son when he asks, ‘Why don’t they like Palestine?’”

It is not known why WWE would confiscate the young fan’s sign simply because he wanted to show support for CM Punk as well as Palestine at the same time. Therefore, we’ll have to see whether WWE will address this incident soon enough.
