Second City Saint asks fans to respect space outside the ring
Summary
– CM Punk told fans to stop touching strangers in public via Instagram
– Says he loves fans but won’t sacrifice personal boundaries
– Statement follows backlash from WrestleMania 41 weekend meet and greet
CM Punk is again making his voice heard—this time on personal space. In a recent Instagram story, the WWE star issued a direct message urging people to stop crossing boundaries in public.
“Stop touching strangers in public,” Punk wrote, offering no further context, but making his point crystal clear.
While Punk has always appreciated his fans, especially during his various runs in WWE and AEW, he made it clear that respect goes both ways. This message arrived shortly after his WrestleMania 41 weekend meet and greet session at WWE World drew criticism from fans who felt he came off cold or distant during interactions.
Punk, however, isn’t apologizing. He’s long maintained that his boundaries are non-negotiable, and this message reinforces that stance. Fame doesn’t cancel out the need for space, and Punk wants fans to understand where he draws the line.
