… For ‘Blood Money’ Post

CM Punk is revisiting his infamous tweet to WWE Superstar The Miz about his involvement in the company’s shows in Saudi Arabia … issuing an apology to the fans and saying “everything is a lesson learned.”
Punk’s initial comment came as a response to Miz in a heated exchange in 2019 … with the former telling the latter to “Go suck a blood money covered d*** in Saudi Arabia you f***ing dork.”
Fast forward to Friday — Punk took part in the Night of Champions kickoff show in Riyadh … and the home crowd certainly didn’t forget his past words — with folks in attendance booing him as he made his entrance.
A man in the front row caught his attention … and stated he wanted the wrestler to say sorry for the post.
The 46-year-old said his tweet had nothing to do with the country and that he just woke up in a bad mood.
“I wrote a mean tweet to The Miz, and I apologized to The Miz and I sincerely apologize to all of Saudi Arabia. I’m not perfect by any means, sometimes as human beings we screw up.”
He shook the man’s hand … with the crowd letting out a huge cheer — seemingly letting bygones be bygones.
While he didn’t explain exactly what he meant with his OG post … it’s best for business that WWE fans in the country and one of the most popular talents are on good terms.
The Kingdom and WWE are in year six of a 10-year partnership … which is reportedly worth $500 million for the org. to host shows in the country.
Night of Champions takes place Saturday morning … with Punk taking on John Cena for the WWE Championship.
