New WrestleMania Weekend Fan Incident Led to 911 Call on CM Punk

CM Punk was the talk of WrestleMania weekend and not just because he had a five-star match against Roman Reigns in the night two main event inside Allegiant Stadium.
In the aftermath of the show, a fan video was released that showed Punk snapping at a fan. In the video, the fan attempts to get close to AJ Lee and Bayley, but Bayley pushes him away. Soon after, Punk enters and smacks the phone out of the fan's hand.
In the days following the situation, reports indicated that the fan was not going to press charges on Punk, but did say that he wanted an apology from the WWE Superstar. Security in Las Vegas during WrestleMania was a talking point coming out of the show, with many stars openly discussing the need for more of it during a high-fan-volume weekend like WrestleMania.

“I was here waiting for the WWE superstars and I was trying to get a picture and maybe an autograph from them. Without ill intentions I just got close to them. And then when I got close, the star CM Punk pushes me and chops me from my chest… Inside the lobby of MGM Hotel here in Las Vegas… His face was red and his eyesight was full of anger.”CM Punk 911 call translation
