There has been an update on WWE’s CM Punk bracelet merchandise after the item was initially pulled from WWE Shop.
Shortly after WWE’s replica bracelets went on sale, they were pulled from the website after the original maker of the bracelet, a fan named Victoria, noted that the company didn’t give her a heads up before releasing the item.
Yesterday, Victoria commented on the item being removed from the shop, saying:
hi everyone – thanks again for all the nice words and support. i won’t be asking for compensation from wwe since they have every right to make bracelets. all i kind of was hoping for was maybe a mention in the description of the product (i.e. inspired by a fan). (1/5)
throughout this whole thing i never expected to be given anything from wwe – all i wanted was for people to put a name/face to the where the bracelet came from. i completely understand why some of you guys are upset at wwe and it means a lot to me that people care so much. (2/5)
for those replying to my initial post about me not getting a heads up and saying wwe didn’t need to, i 100% agree they didn’t need to. legally they had no obligation to reach out to me regarding this, but it just would have been nice to have heard it from them beforehand. (3/5)
if they reached out to me about it i would have mentioned putting “cm punk” on the bracelets instead of “aj” and “larry” (i think more people would have been interested in that) since now it kind of diminishes the whole storyline purpose of the bracelet. (4/5)
wwe did reach out to me last week as a thank you from punk and invited me to a show next month but to my knowledge that invitation had no correlation to them selling bracelets and wasn’t offered as compensation but i am still grateful for them contacting me at all. (5/5)
Following Victoria’s comments, WWE has now reuploaded the bracelet, now saying ‘CM Punk’ instead of AJ and Larry.
