WWE tried to focus on CM Punk’s explosive RAW promo—but it backfired fast after fans noticed something missing and hit the company with a Community Note.
After CM Punk opened the April 6, 2026 episode of WWE RAW in Houston with a long, aggressive segment targeting Roman Reigns and even taking shots at Pat McAfee, WWE uploaded a clip of the moment to Twitter. The promo itself quickly gained traction online, especially with Punk leaning into his signature “pipebomb” style delivery.
But the version WWE posted didn’t include everything Punk said—and that’s where things turned. The clip was flagged with a Community Note pointing out that WWE edited out a key part of the promo, specifically when Punk called out TKO and told TKO to reduce ticket prices. The note made it clear viewers weren’t getting the full picture.
“Readers added context
The official WWE clip is edited and omits the end of CM Punk's promo where he calls on TKO (WWE's parent company) to lower ticket prices, saying he should tell his agent Ari Emanuel to do so. For full context:”
That missing line adds a completely different edge to the segment. During the live promo, Punk didn’t just go after Roman Reigns—he expanded the scope by taking a shot at WWE’s parent company and the cost of attending shows, something that rarely makes it into official promotional clips.
The original segment saw Punk take over the ring, sit down, and let the Houston crowd build the atmosphere before unloading. He revisited the recent chaos between himself and Reigns, including the announce table attacks involving The Bloodline, and made it clear he’s looking for payback heading into WrestleMania.
From there, Punk escalated things—questioning how Reigns reached the top, mocking his outside opportunities, and contrasting it with his own path in wrestling. He also briefly turned his attention to Pat McAfee, criticizing his involvement in WWE storylines before bringing everything back to his ongoing feud with Reigns.
But now, the biggest talking point isn’t just what Punk said—it’s what WWE chose not to include. The Community Note has only drawn more attention to the missing segment, leading to questions about how much of Punk’s message gets filtered when it hits official platforms, especially when it involves TKO or business decisions like ticket pricing.

Do you think WWE was right to edit that part of CM Punk’s promo, or should they have posted the full segment as it aired? Drop your thoughts below and let us know.
