The fallout from CM Punk’s WrestleMania 42 hotel incident continues to spiral, and now a parody video mocking the situation has added another layer to the ongoing reaction.
Big Ben Bishop, performing as his parody character “Tribal Keith,” released a new video on Instagram that spoofs the 9-1-1 call tied to the MGM Grand confrontation. The parody leans heavily into exaggeration, mocking the tone of the original claims made after the encounter with CM Punk.
In the video, Bishop introduces himself as the character and launches into a dramatic retelling of the situation, portraying an over-the-top version of a fan claiming to have been attacked.
“Hello. I am the IWC, Internet Wrestling Community Leader, Tribal Keith. And I was just viciously assaulted inside the MGM Grand here in Las Vegas.”
The parody then shifts into mocking the expectation that wrestlers owe fans constant access during major events like WrestleMania weekend.
“I was waiting by the elevators at MGM Grand in a public area, waiting to get pictures and autographs from some of the fed superstars who were performing at WrestleMania.”
The satire escalates as Bishop jokes about insulting CM Punk after being denied a photo, turning the situation into a deliberately exaggerated storyline.
“They politely said no. Then I called them pieces of sh*t because that's what they are for not. I basically pay their salary. They are indebted to me.”
He ends the parody by pushing the joke even further, describing an over-the-top reaction to not getting what he wanted during the encounter.
“And I got none of my eight by ten sign. And I didn't get my picture. So I would like the SWAT team to come out to MGM Grand here in Las Vegas as soon as possible to apprehend this monster.”
The parody clip arrives as the original MGM Grand incident continues to generate attention following the release of video footage and emergency call audio tied to the confrontation.
As previously reported, police reviewed surveillance footage from inside the MGM Grand lobby and determined that the first interaction began when a fan tapped CM Punk on the shoulder after he had already walked past — a key detail that factored into the decision not to make an arrest tied to the initial encounter.
With parody content now circulating alongside the original reports, the situation has taken on a new life online, turning what began as a tense confrontation into a widely discussed topic across wrestling circles.
