Dolph Ziggler Takes A Personal Shot At CM Punk During Smackdown

WWE star takes a dig at UFC star.

Dolph Ziggler returned to WWE's Smackdown on Thursday night and criticised CM Punk's attitude to the pro wrestling business. Ziggler was doing a promo talking about The Authority, and said "I€™d rather sit here in this ring and face any punishment they give me every day for the rest of my life than sit at home on some couch, complaining on a podcast." This was an obvious reference to CM Punk, who quit the company due to real life hostility with management and later did a podcast about his woes. Ziggler has been involved in a WWE storyline in which he has problems with management, but it should also be noted that he's had his share of real battles with the top brass and never walked away. Dolph's Punk comment was likely scripted by the WWE. It was possibly someone in management looking to get a sneaky dig at Punk. It could also have been Ziggler's genuine feelings about Punk. The current UFC star had isolated himself in the WWE locker room and many felt negatively about him when he abruptly quit the WWE last January. In what is being viewed as a subtle response from Punk to Ziggler, the UFC fighter tweeted "Wasted arrows" on Thursday night. That is Punk trying to suggest he doesn't care about his WWE past. But if he didn't care, why would he bother tweeting?
