If there's one thing WWE crowds know how to do, it's get under the skin of those attempting to cut promos. Steve Austin's old 'What?' chants are a firm favourite, and there's a relatively new kid on the block. More recently (since his departure), fans have enjoyed winding WWE up about one CM Punk.

On this week's Raw, Stephanie McMahon was the first to appear live in front of the audience. Before McMahon could really even get started, the Chicago crowd began chanting Punk's name loudly. This was hard to miss, but the same couldn't be said for Steph's brutal retort.

Without missing a beat, McMahon shut the fans down by roasting Punk's UFC debut. Looking at her watch, she said that should people keep chanting for another 2 minutes and 15 seconds, they'd have been doing so for longer than Punk lasted in the Octagon.

That was snappy, the live crowd had no fitting comeback. From there, Stephanie was free to deliver her lines and the chant never returned until others joined her inside the ring.
