The fan that was struck by CM Punk on Monday’s WWE Raw is to take legal action according to local CBS reporter Laura Cole. The fan told Laura Cole of CBS 13 that he never touched WWE Champion Punk. Cole tweeted photos of the fan following the event. Here are some of Cole’s live updates including the photos uploaded by the CBS reporter:
“Just talked to the fan that says he was hit by @cmpunk. He says he never hit Punk.”
“This fan says his face is a little warm after he says @cmpunk hit him. He also says Punk broke his glasses.”
“The fan is still filling out a report with law enforcement.”
“the fan and I just talked for a few minutes then the officers came up and asked to talk with him. So I didn’t have enough”

Thanks to Mike Douglas for the following:
I was at the Raw here in Sac… CM Punk decked that guy right pretty much in front of me… I took a pic on my page… They took him backstage right after… It was not staged, it was real, the dude slapped CM Punk in the back. And Ryback is SUPER over!!!!

Lady Deathbane said:I don't know if this is wrong or not, but he kinda' gained more respect from me after this incident. He takes shit from no one, lol.
If anyone's interested, the little shithead kid that kept pushing and provoking Punk has a Twitter: @shaokahhn
Overnight, PWInsider.com has received a lot of email regarding the incident at the end of Monday Night Raw where WWE champion CM Punk nailed a fan on camera.
As I noted on my Elite audio Hotline last night, the word making the rounds backstage was that a number of fans had shoved and taken shots at Punk as he reacted to being told he would have to choose Ryback or John Cena as his Hell in A Cell opponent. Punk finally defended himself as there was no security around him.
In a cell phone video taken by a fan right who was right in front of the incident, that version is backed up. In the footage, a number of fans reach out to touch Punk as he runs up the stairs. When he stops, he is shoved and jostled several times, including by a fan he shoves away to his left. Punk is shoved forward from behind, with the fan in question coming into contact with Punk. The fan raises his arms in the air and brings them down, hitting Punk in the back of the head. That leads to Punk physically nailing a backfist and another punch, defending himself.
