WWE: CM Punk Reveals Why He Didn't Answer The Rock's Call In 2017

CM Punk revealed the interesting story about not being able to answer a phone call from The Rock.

In Punk’s recent two-hour Starrcast III interview with Wrestling Inc., he talked about the time The Rock called him while the WWE superstar was at an episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. But more importantly, Punk revealed why he didn't answer his phone.

The story dates back to February of 2017 when The Rock was at a Raw in Los Angeles to film scenes for his film, “Fighting With My Family.” During the said event, fans began chanting “CM Punk” which prompted The Rock to call the former WWE champion and let him hear it. However, Punk wasn’t able to answer it.

Punk then revealed that he missed The Rock’s call because he was in the elevator at the time. He also mentioned that he was about to walk his dog when his phone started receiving tons of messages.

"I was in the elevator, going to the bottom floor to walk Larry (Punk’s dog). I was in the elevator, no reception in the elevator.” Punk explained.

When Punk got out of the elevator, he saw that he already had “87” messages and he thought somebody just died.

"My phone, no messages, I get in the elevator, it's really slow, by the time it gets down and I walk out and I have 87 messages on my phone. I think somebody is dead! I just get number after number, like 'Answer your phone!' I'm like, 'F---, who's dead? This sucks',” Punk revealed.

According to Punk, he tried to figure out what was happening but when he tried to answer it, the call was not going through.

After Punk was done walking his dog, he then realized that it was The Rock who was trying to call him.

"I had no idea what was going on until I'm done with the walk, 'Oh, Rock is calling me, live from the Staples Center, okay. This is f---in' weird.’ I started texting him immediately after that, he got right back to me like, I'm like, 'Oh, brother! I was trying to answer, I was outside, I was in an elevator. It just didn't work out’,” Punk admitted.

Eventually the call went through and Punk was able to hear what was going in the event. Punk also revealed that he and The Rock would later trade texts from that point on.

One of the most notable conversation they’ve had was Punk apologizing for being a "d--k" to The Rock when he came back for a short period of time in 2013.

Currently, both Punk and The Rock got involved with the latest Wednesday Night Wars going on with AEW and WWE.
