Rumor Killer on ESPN Employee Claiming CM Punk Was Involved in a Heated, Backstage Argument with WWE Management at Raw

January 29, 2014

Casey Kulas, who works for ESPN Cleveland and The Q, contacted WZ earlier today and claimed he was in attendance at Raw this Monday night and overheard a backstage argument involving CM Punk, AJ Lee, Paul Heyman, and WWE officials.

Kulas claims the argument was over the subject of Punk possibly sustaining a concussion, and Punk responded to officials by saying “I’ve passed all your f***ing concussion tests” and “I’m not going out there and telling the fans this shit. I’ve been doing this too f***ing long.”

WZ reached out to a WWE source close to the situation, and the source claimed none of this is true.

Kulas has also been Tweeting about his Punk claim, which is different from what he told WZ, as he did not refer to “sources” in our correspondence, and you can view the Tweets below:

My info on CM Punk: I do know from sources that at #Raw in CLE there was heated exchange backstage between Punk & staff. Topic – concussion.
