The reaction backstage to CM Punk’s comments regarding Ryback was mostly negative. Per a source, many in the locker room felt that Punk’s comments about Ryback came off as cheap and unprofessional.
Almost no one in the WWE locker room thinks Ryback intentionally tried to hurt Punk and injure his ribs, not to mention kick Punk “as hard as he could.”
A source says few had sympathy for Punk working injured because almost every top guy in the WWE deals with various injuries. Of course, this backstage report contradicts what an earlier report said. That report indicated while the reaction to Punk’s interview was mixed, there were people backstage who supported him for speaking out. People who were neutral on Punk were also reportedly positive about the issues Punk spoke out against.
