R-Truth doesn't have much time for AEW newcomer CM Punk.

The WWE Raw star replied to a fan video on TikTok, and his remarks were scathing. The vid was a clip of Punk (speaking on Colt Cabana's podcast back in 2014) calling his tag-team match with Triple H vs. The Miz and Truth at Vengeance 2011 "bad business". You can see the full exchange in this tweet.

Truth took umbrage to Punk's words and replied with the following rebuttal:

"CM Punk, you lost to me and Miz 'cause we were HOTTER than you. Sorry, and I never thought you were impressive at all - just typical entitlement".

It's the latter part of Truth's comment that stands out. He viewed Punk as entitled/arrogant a decade ago, and seemingly still believes the same now. Some fans will question whether or not 'The Awesome Truth' tag-team was "hotter" than CM Punk in 2011 though; Punk was on fire at that point in his career, had just delivered the famous "pipe bomb promo", and seemed to be on course for even bigger and better things.

Let's just say R-Truth probably didn't tune in for Punk's AEW Rampage debut!
