CM Punk’s iconic “Pipebomb” promo was featured in a hype vignette on this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, but with a notable omission. The segment aired to promote Punk’s upcoming clash with John Cena at King & Queen of the Ring next Saturday and included excerpts from the legendary 2011 promo — highlighting Punk’s dig about Cena being skilled at “kissing ass.” However, the original line’s mention of Vince McMahon was edited out.
McMahon, who parted ways with WWE in January 2024, was removed following a lawsuit filed by Janel Grant alleging sexual assault, trafficking, and abuse. He resigned from his roles in both WWE and TKO the next day. The legal proceedings remain ongoing.
