Overview

• On October 15, Punk used Instagram Stories to tell people not to turn up at airports or hotels and said those who follow wrestlers are stalkers who will be treated as such.
• Coverage notes this is a repeated message from Punk, who has previously drawn a firm line between work settings and private time.
• Reports describe a subset of these encounters involving resellers who obtain flight and hotel details to secure autographs for profit.
• Other WWE talents have cited similar harassment, with Rhea Ripley detailing an airport pursuit and a recent John Cena public exchange drawing attention.
• WWE promotes official signings as controlled alternatives to unsolicited approaches, and Punk’s comments come as he holds a top contender spot with the World Heavyweight title picture uncertain due to Seth Rollins’ injury.
