CM Punk Apologizes to Saudi Arabia for Past Tweet Telling The Miz to “Go Suck a Blood Money Covered Dick”

CM Punk was involved in a past online incident with The Miz in January of 2020 revolving around The Miz giving a cryptic shot at Punk stating “Oh, sorry, I didn’t change the culture” and Punk responding back on Twitter telling The Miz to “Go suck a blood money covered dick in Saudi Arabia you fucking dork.”

During Friday’s WWE Night of Champions 2025 Kickoff event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, CM Punk came out to the stage to talk about his upcoming match against John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship at this Saturday’s show.

A fan had asked Punk to apologize for his past tweet, which he did and claimed that he never had any real issue with Saudi Arabia and only wrote it because he was feeling “crabby” that day.

“This guy wants me to apologize for a tweet I wrote six years ago. Listen, legitimately had nothing to do with Saudi Arabia. I woke up and I was crabby and I wrote a mean tweet to the Miz. I apologized to The Miz and sir, I sincerely apologize to you and Saudi Arabia. I am not perfect by any means. Sometimes, as human beings, we screw up. The beautiful thing is, everything is a lesson learned. Now, here I am, and you have invited me to your country and I am grateful to be here. Thank you very much.”
