CM Punk dislikes pyro.
At WrestleMania 28, Punk made his entrance as WWE Champion against Chris Jericho, accompanied by a massive display of pyro and fireworks while “Cult of Personality” played.
The Second City Saint was not pleased.
During a recent appearance on “The Masked Man Show,” Punk revealed that he yelled at Kevin Dunn for wasting money on pyro and confetti. He said,
“I don’t think I’ve ever pictured myself as ‘guy standing on the second rope holding up a title while they waste money on pyro and confetti.’ I screamed at Kevin Dunn, I can’t remember what Mania it was, when I got all that pyro. So pissed off. I do not need it, do not want it. It’s a crutch. It is a crutch. ‘They spent all this money on this bulls*it. This guy must be important.’ Awesome entrance music sets the mood. Pyro just makes dogs angry.”
Punk was screwed by Paul Heyman, who also turned on Roman Reigns and assisted Seth Rollins in winning the Triple Threat main event at WrestleMania 41 (Night One).
