Sunday night's Payback pay-per-view was in Rosemont, Ill. You know, the same state that Chicago is in. And you know what wrestler is arguably most famously from Chicago: none other than the UFC's own CM Punk. Ryback, who has a long history of personal beef with Punk, utilized his ring entrance on the Payback Kickoff Show to send some serious shade in the direction of the former world champ.

The public feud between Punk and Ryback started all the way back in 2014, when CM Punk appeared on Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast and badmouthed the Big Guy. Ryback fired back. The two have gone around and around since then, although Ryback has seemed to take it a bit more personally than Punk. Perhaps understandably so.
