This was followed by an unexpected interruption from CM Punk. Already frustrated by the interviewer’s reaction, Perez wasn’t receptive to Punk’s advice and called him a hypocrite before leaving the interview. A visibly surprised Punk then questioned the interviewer if this was Perez’s usual behavior.
