Fan Declines Charges After CM Punk Swats Phone at MGM Grand

The decision narrows the fallout to a possible apology.

Overview

  • CM Punk swatted a fan’s phone in the MGM Grand lobby early Monday after the fan filmed AJ Lee and Bayley during a private moment, according to videos published by TMZ and others.
  • The fan told TMZ he will not sue or contact police and says he only wants Punk to apologize and shake his hand.
  • New footage shared online shows Bayley putting up her hand, telling the filmer to “go away,” and trying to block the shot before Punk stepped in.
  • Other wrestlers described troubling run-ins during WrestleMania week, with Hall of Famer Sean Waltman saying he was assaulted, had a camera shoved in his face, and was stalked in a bathroom.
  • Jade Cargill and Je’Von Evans said hotel lobbies were swarmed and at times inappropriate, urging fans to use scheduled meet-and-greets instead of approaching talent in transit.
