CM Punk Addresses Vince McMahon Sexual Abuse Allegations

WWE/CNBC

WWE star CM Punk appeared on the MMA Hour today and addressed the sexual abuse allegations against Vince McMahon.

Regarding the allegations, Punk said:

“I mean, there’s no positivity there. I didn’t read all the allegations, I read text messages and went ‘oh f**k this’. It’s indefensible.

“Doing this, I imagined I was going to be asked about it, I know the easiest thing to do is avoid it, but it’s there.

“I’m kind of shocked at how dumb he was, writing stuff down and leaving that paper trail, it’s horrific.

“At this point, all the energy should be used, there’s victims here, so what CM Punk thinks about Vince and the CM Punk/Vince relationship doesn’t mean f**king anything here, all that stuff takes a backseat, I’m more concerned about, going forward, how do those people survive going through that trauma.”

When asked if the business is better without McMahon, Punk replied:

“At this point, how do you say anything but yes? The business is better [without him].

“The biggest thing I can draw comparison to is when Chris Benoit did a murder suicide. I was friends with Chris Benoit, and I’m famously on camera weeping, because at the time we didn’t know, and the week prior I’m travelling with him and he grabs me and runs me into the trainers room and his little son is in the training room taping up his hands and putting Xs on his hands.

“Obviously I don’t have memories of Benoit travelling with me and murdering people in a gym, I’ve never been in a room with Vince where he’s sexually assaulting somebody, but there’s part of me where, just like with Benoit, I was like ‘okay yeah, I can see it’.

“”It’s very hard to reconcile, I read what Becky (Lynch) said, he was like a father figure to her, and it’s just been wild. It’s sad.

“”He ruined his life ruining other people’s lives, so there’s very much a part of me that’s like, ‘We got him. Good. Shuffle him into the basement’.”
