WWE Shop Scrubs CM Punk's Bracelet, Drew McIntyre & Original Maker Comment
10/09/2024 21:38
The ongoing feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre on WWE programming has prominently featured the Punk’s friendship bracelet.
Last week on WWE RAW,McIntyre assaulted Punk and destroyed the bracelet.
WWEShop began selling a replica of the bracelet on September 9, but it was quickly removed from the online store.
Any attempts to find the bracelet through the shop’s search function redirect to the main WWE Shop homepage.
Victoria, the individual responsible for creating the bracelet for Punk, expressed her surprise on social media at WWE selling the bracelet without notifying her.
She wrote, "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). 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.
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. 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.
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."
McIntyre has since commented on the controversy surrounding WWE selling the bracelet originally made by Victoria for Punk.
McIntyre wrote, "All this bitching and moaning and crying, no wonder CM Punk is your hero 😂😴"
Punk will battle McIntyre in a Hell In A Cell match next month at WWE Bad Blood 2024.
