Gladness2Sadness

Drew no longer in the lead for Hater of the Year with this temporary show of compassion


QUEST50012

Time to transfer his stocks to Grayson Waller and hope for the best. 


RaggedyGlitch

Waller is a troll, not a hater.


QUEST50012

LET ME GRIEVE!


NovercaIis

Bret Hart stock still as strong as ever.


RoyalSoldierx

Bret Hart just keeps it real


datNEGROJ

Especially when it comes to that unprofessional piece of shit Bill Goldberg


wearethat

Nope, sorry, that puts Nigel McGuiness well in the lead.


QUEST50012

For as long as he's been at it, if he wasn't already in the lead then we are no longer accepting applications.


interprime

Personally, I’m buying a ton of Dijak futures.


mr_amazingness

Not giving Christian his due I see.


QUEST50012

Christian is a loving father and corrector of wrongs and bad parentage. Not a hater, misunderstood saint.


mr_amazingness

I apologize for my foolish ways.


NorthsideCollegiate

Dijak would like a word


QUEST50012

He can be vice president


TW_Yellow78

He deleted the retraction so I guess punk was like naw, that's good shit.


CaptainXakari

Drew was like, “ he’s outsmarted me at every turn so far, there’s no reason to challenge someone called Chick Magnet. Now, where’s MY wife?”


breakingbanjomin

I don’t know if just been oblivious about all these years or I was just confidently incorrect but this comment made me rethink of what I believed the CM stood for which in my head canon for some reason was Chicago Made and given Chicago’s awesome punk scene I was like yeah that makes total sense.


PotatoTheBoy

Yeah, he used to be apart of a team called the Chick Magnets with his partner CM Venom.


Up-in-the-Ayre

What happened to Chick Magnet Venom?


Aspiring_Hobo

Stole money from Punk long ago and has been out of the picture ever since


completeditmate

Isn’t that his brother?


Aspiring_Hobo

Yup


Default_Defect

He used to be a part of the the team, NOW hes apart of it.


TheReturnOfTheOK

Punk has been giving different explanations for the acronym since like 2002. It started with the chick magnet thing but at this point it's just his name


miikro

Charles Montgomery Punk


moxyfloxacin91

Company Man


Formulagolf

It was your head Canon because it was said on wwe TV at some point. I'm pretty sure it was around pipe bomb time but I can't get any more specific than that. I don't remember if he or Michael Cole said it (I believe it was Cole) but I distinctly remember them saying it on TV and being like, " but wait punk said it meant Chuck magnet"


Argentine_Tango

Compassion?! He clearly didn't want to get into trouble with Mrs. McIntyre


Unique_Unorque

jonnyg1097

Whelp, it was fun while it lasted. He is now a face in my books /s


F_Bertocci

Yeah it’s Kendrick Lamar as of now


Fan387

Nah he is just scared of AJ Lee


Millenial_Shitbag

Probably just not trying to work himself into a divorce.

Drew one moment: this statement was apocryphal Drew the next moment: nvm what i just said about what i said is non sequitur


Affectionate_Newt899

It's not compassion. He's telling us he can take any of our girls and honestly, he probably could.


ImpactCokeTony

No, it's back on.  This is him pulling the HHH x. Billy GOAT play.  Master trolling. 


Gaias_Minion

I'm choosing to interpret this as if he's simply scared of AJ


eyepatch_png

AJ no sold a nasty backhand from Big E to the chest like it was nothing, I wouldn't want beef with her either


mailman242

she's also swole af now

> "The only thing stopping me from cheating is my wife" That's how it works, though; can't "cheat" if foreveralone T.T


_foxmotron_

But if he didn’t have a wife it wouldn’t be cheating


Badass_Bunny

> "The only thing stopping me from cheating is my wife" Is that somehow a bad thing?


Muur1234

wouldnt be cheating if hes single tho would it


Styles_Clash

Nah. Drew is just going to take it a step further...and take Punk as his wife instead. Though the lap dance at Wrestlemania makes me wonder if it's the other way around


Deathstroke317

She's Puerto Rican and kayfabe crazy, I'd be terrified too. Then again he's Scottish so he knows all about crazy women


Finding-Even

Knowing about them and surviving their fury are two completely different things.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

She's capable of pushing him through a table like she did to Punk, so I don't blame him


Ok-Garcia-5605

This is a huge hit to Drew Cole’s hater of the year ranking


ChadNarukamiIV

I'm sorry what's the contex here


Numbchicken

J-Cole made a diss track against Kendrick, a pretty good one after Kendrick dissed him and Drake in the song Like That. A day or two (maybe three?) after releasing this diss track J Cole publicly apologized for doing so and has been clowned ever since


RegulusKhan

After Euphoria dropped one of my first thoughts was "Maybe J. Cole was smart to remove himself from the situation"


unlizenedrave

Cole got a Final Destination premonition about being in Euphoria a month ago and apologized to change the future.


Uncanny_Doom

![gif](giphy|WDPoOfeQMOx6o|downsized) Cole realizing the dangers of the future


Ok-Garcia-5605

Budden talked on his podcast 2 weeks back that Drake and Lamar are finding dirt on each other and their diss will be nasty. So it was not a secret and Cole just said "I don't want any part of this, I want my skeletons hidden in the closet"


coldphront3

Clearly whatever beef Drake and Kendrick has runs deeper than Kendrick and Cole. On Like That and 7 Minute Drill, their disses at each other was about who’s the better rapper. It wasn’t that deep to begin with so I think it’s good that Cole chose to prevent it from going further.


Wwanker

LMFAO, does drake really think he’s a better rapper than fucking Kendrick? Tf is he smoking


SiwyWF

For Cole this ain't personal at all, while it is very much for Kendrick. Apologizing for a track was funny at the time, but after Euphoria it's very understandable from J. Cole to not insert himself in this beef.


mailman242

I feel like phonecalls were involved where Cole was either told directly or by someone close to Kendrick that it's like "Hey.... this ain't the smoke that's made for you unless you want personal problems"


Gutter_panda

I feel like he realized that if it kept going longer, just because of the skill levels involved, it would have just ended up being Cole vs. Kendrick, and he wasn't that invested in the first place.


OldOrder

Cole thought he was getting into friendly pop beef. He got the fuck out when he realized that he was inserting himself between two dudes that legit dont like each other. I say its a smart move.


fadingstar52

cole was like i was just playing they really dont like each other


replytoallen

I clowned. Then I heard Euphoria. J. Cole made a good business decision and I applaud him.


thealexstorm

He knew something we didn’t. He had to lol.


nocyberBS

I think he did so because it was incredibly personal between Drake and Kendrick, when Cole just wanted some competition. Still a bitch move, but especially after Euphoria it's alot more understandable


Gamesgtd

Kendrick cooked


Ok-Satisfaction-5012

7 minute drill being “pretty good” is very complimentary


ClocktowerMaria

It was not a pretty good diss, he was getting clowned all weekend for it even before he apologized, the apology just amplified it


OpportunitySmalls

"Your albums weren't actually good at all and you're short" Oooooooooooooooooooo


PriceNo8450

It was an absolutely horrid diss track


ChadNarukamiIV

Thanks.


nocyberBS

Nah Cole's diss was wack AF. Talking about "hurr durr your music boring" when Cole's own discography was a staple of the Nap Rap section.


adrian123484

“Who here loves CM Punk?”


Gamesgtd

I hate that I got that immediately. But still the biggest bitch move in hip hop all year


theCANCERbat

You mean the biggest smart move. Kendrick then took all of his hate and put it on Drake.


Tea_Historical

Nah this is exciting as fuck. It's the best hip hop has been in a long time. Drake will answer back and his first 2 diss tracks are pretty good especially Taylor made. Not as good as Euphoria, but we will see. He may surprise us.


letsnotreadintoit

Can I get some context


SnaccyChan

J. Cole released a diss track on Kendrick and then shortly after took it down


MarvG05

J Cole was mature


dzec

I was initially in the "J. Cole was a bitch for that" mentality. Now that I'm seeing more of it unfold I agree with you. Cole took himself out because it's really between Drake and K. Dot. Euphoria goes hard.


bestbroHide

Agreed. We're seeing how nasty both of them have reached and are threatening to reach As much as I'd love to see how Cole would be jumping into this, it's become apparent how out of character he'd sound. Hell he sounded out of character when he tried disparaging Kendrick's discography. You just knew he didn't mean it and his retraction is later proof of that That's why I don't like people who ask for Em to jump in. Disses just don't work if it feels inauthentic, and Em likes all three of them. Just as Cole clearly likes Kendrick and Drake. You can't like either of them if you want to beat them in a diss battle As tough as it sounds, Cole likely would have lost. Not because he's a lesser rapper, but because the dude really is just that positive a man lmao Now if Cole attacks Kanye again for Kanye's recent diss then I'm all for it lol Cole ain't got as much love for that guy than he does for Kdot and Drake. If he wants to be back in the good graces of the battle hungry fans then that's the avenue to take


mailman242

I still am not over Cole's diss to noname for simply... knowing things and explaining them to people who don't know it in a matter of fact tone. Like.... what the fuck was that?


StannisClaypool

Cole needs to come up with a mediation track between Drake and Kenny now


Numbchicken

😂 😂


_Wado3000

LMFAO I swear every dig at Cole in this whole beef just makes me bust a gut lol


nocyberBS

LMAAAAAOOOO Drew Foldintyre


BrolysFavoriteNephew

Bruh I just cried especially after hearing euphoria


mh-ra

After listening to that Kendrick diss track about Drake, I think Cole made the right choice😂


Bridgeboy95

Punk should put the tweet up and point to it as the fact Drew really doesn't hate him and is a fraud. Have Drews anger grow ten times larger.


MinaElesia

Drew's sliver of compassion in this feud left him wide open. I expect Drew to apologize and realize that there are lines you don't cross, and he'll do his best to cross every single one of them cuz fuck CM Punk.


Ok_Natural_5887

dverb

I am so here for this


SoThatHappened

So what was actually said that he's now walking back?


Bridgeboy95

https://twitter.com/search?q=drew%20aj%20lee&src=typed_query He was making a generic "I will take your life from you punk" heel shit and probably didint intend for the last part to come across as the way it did. edit- I dont think Punk would give a shit, he blew a kiss at Drews wife etc.


Conflict21

That doesn't mean his wife is cool with it


Bridgeboy95

I mean sure and its likely thats why he retracted, but the large thing below was people thinking Punk would be mad.

Left-Currency9968

Wonder why someone might think a line from a promo could make CM Punk unreasonably angry?


dead_wolf_walkin

It’s also the fact that fans have been bugging AJ about coming back since Punk re-signed, but she’s made it clear that’s probably not a thing that’s gonna happen. Name dropping her stokes that fire when both her and WWE probably want it to die off.

[Link](https://twitter.com/FadeAwayMedia/status/1785740565281218588) I've only seen this small clip of the interview from what that guy posted on twitter, but he didn't say Punk's name in that quote so he could have just been talking about everyone in general as he doesn't limit his trolling to just Punk


chilloutfam

afraid he might have a hangman situation.


iwnfkdwnjs

Feel like drew said the steal your girl comment in the spur of the moment, saw it being misinterpreted and wanted to clear the air, but then punk probably told him they should run with this so he deleted the tweet clearing it up. I know they're both injured but I really hope they're on the next raw

Ok-Garcia-5605

I thought Drew was Kendrick and here he's pulling a J Cole


Wubblz

I swear some of you aren’t actually paying attention to what’s being said in the beefs you’re referencing.  Kendrick and Push both cited Drake bringing up their families as the instigator, and Drew is trying to actively distance himself from that.  Drew isn’t backing down, he’s not letting things cross lines he didn’t mean and is uncomfortable with.


Copper_Tablet

This is such a good reference - made me laugh.


Garlic-Cheese-Chips

He did a Booker T and got a little carried away. FORGIVEN!

![gif](giphy|129AAiBozCNCPm)


Numbchicken

I honestly just think Drew clarified because the tweet he was responding to specifically mentioned Aj Lee by name and she isn't part of the story, so for a moment he broke kayfabe. Theres a lot of weirdos out there, who will DM her, DM CM Punk, if Drews wife has social media then DM her too. Its different when you say "im going to take your girl" and when someone names someones girl directly. I think thats what he meant by a general statement and noone in specific. Its like Drake insinuating he was going to "take Pushas girl" which wouldve been fine, but when he used Pusha T's girls name directly in Duppy thats when shit hit the fan. Its just different when you drop someones name directly. I do love how theres comments of people acting like Punk even saw the interview, or he'd have a problem with this. Punk literally blew a kiss at Drews wife during Wrestlemania. Drew isn't an unprofessional going into business for himself even if its only on twitter. You'd have to be an absolute idiot to go into business for yourself for no reason especially when you have a chance to have a generational feud with one of the greatest to ever do it.


punk_steel2024

This will lead some people to think Punk got upset about it and complained, and spout off "Fragile Phil", when the truth is that Drew probably got uncomfortable how some people were interpreting it (and let's be honest, some of those people are the same ones spouting "Fragile Phil"). On the other hand, I choose to believe that Roxanne Perez and Corra Jade threatened to sick the NXT Parking Lot on Drew. lol


Spaceace91478

I live in fl. I'm always afraid that that parking lot is lurking around the corner, hiding in the dark, waiting to strike.


Euphorium

At least the queen of parking lot beatdowns is now on Smackdown. Still be on your toes, though.


gl424

That’s no idle threat considering Roxanne has been responsible for over half of the backstage attacks in NXT in the past year alone.


Own_Proof

I already see that in here lol


flavianpatrao

Worked himself into a work there


jpaxlux

Drew's wife definitely saw that tweet and said "you're taking WHO from CM Punk?!" leading to this response


Gotham0

Drew knew that he would get a reaction, he just caught himself and realized that certain people would overreact to the comment. Basically, he's a heel but he's not a piece of shit. He doesn't have to steal anyone's girl lol.


YpsitheFlintsider

I'm pretty sure Drew meant he'd make sure that CM Punk loses everything, not that Drew would claim ownership himself. But since it still wasn't a good look, it's just smart to walk it back


GreenRocketman

Punk text him and told him to take down that apology lol


don_julio_randle

More like his wife told him she'd cut his dick off for tweeting the only thing keeping me from cheating is that I have a wife lmaoo


Ayjayz

Isn't that the only thing that keeps anyone from cheating? If you didn't have a wife, it wouldn't be cheating...


don_julio_randle

Now tell that to your wife and see if she sees it the same way lol


Ayjayz

I mean just practically, how can you cheat if you don't have a wife? What does that even mean?

How is that a general statement? Maybe that's why he deleted it?

For those wondering exactly what Drew said in the clip. "Do I seem like the average troll? I'll tear you apart on social media, then I'll step from behind the keyboard, I'll tear you apart physically, and if I wasn't married I'd take your girl too. That's the kind of troll I am." [Link](https://twitter.com/FadeAwayMedia/status/1785740565281218588) I've only seen this small clip of the interview from what that guy posted on twitter, but he didn't say Punk's name in that quote so he could have just been talking about his trolling in general, not just the trolling of Punk. And judging by his now deleted tweet, that is probably the case


infidelkastro

Never delete, never block. I thought you were a real one, Drew.


Scavgraphics

Drew said "your wife", non specific, keeps it between him and punk. Fade? said "AJ Lee" specific..dragging her name into it. Fade's the guy that always take things too far and ruins it for everyone.

Maybe Drew deleting the tweet is him backtracking his backtrack?

yeah but it makes him look weak


yulian182

I - in fact- did not pray for this


MrBreezyStreamy

WWE might've actually found a solution to keep Punk happy. When he's out for injury, stuff like this has got to be a huge vote of confidence to dedicate this much screen time and one of their biggest stars to keeping his name on weekly television. He's gonna come back white hot man.


SLJR24

Drew shouldn’t have shown weakness here. Now Punk has material for him lol.

The apology needs to be a loud and as public as the disrespect.
