SummerSlam is just a few days away, and WWE has prepared to make it one of the biggest events of the year. With a stacked card, it is certain to be a must-see PLE. However, amid all the hype, CM Punk has made some wild comments that turn heads towards him.

Recently, the Best in the World was involved in an interview with ESPN First Take. With a lot of audacity, he said that this year’s SummerSlam card might be better than a WrestleMania. He boasted about his match with Drew McIntyre and made some bold claims of destroying him into pieces. He even promoted the match between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa.

We have returning Rhea Ripley, who is.. you gotta love Rhea Ripley. We got Cody Rhodes. We got Solo Sikoa. And this card, to me, honestly possibly better than a WrestleMania.

The Second City Saint tried his best to promote the Biggest Party of Summer. However, the statement of SummerSlam being better than WrestleMania doesn’t make any sense at all. With just seven matches on the card and a main event featuring the likes of Solo Sikoa, it cannot be any close to the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Besides, it is not like the show feels short at any point. The card has its own bangers, like Gunther vs. Damian Priest and Logan Paul vs. LA Knight. CM Punk will also be getting his hands dirty as he is set to face the Scottish Warrior after months of buildup. It all transpires this Saturday when WWE takes over Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.

WWE Universe lambasted CM Punk over his audacious statements

WWE has gone wild ever since CM Punk made these obnoxious statements in the interview on the First Take. Some users on X called him “corporate” Punk. In fact, some fans even lambasted him for being a bootlicker of the management. Moreover, fans even argued about the credibility of Solo Sikoa to be featured in the main event of such a high-profile PLE.

Moreover, fans turned on the Second City Saint after this interview. Some users on X even claimed Punk to be insincere for such bold statements. Fans went to call out Triple H for such a lackluster card for this Saturday and making the Straight Edge Superstar promote this. Here are some of the top reactions of the fans on X:

Overall, fans didn’t like the Voice of the Voiceless for comparing SummerSlam to the Showcase of Immortals after having such a successful WrestleMania this year.
