- 6:15 PMCageside Seats — Ryan Nemeth seems to accuse CM Punk of doing steroids
"I have to say “seems to” because he was very careful about how he worded the following post he put on X earlier today: I love that straight edge guys are like NOTHING! IS! EVER! GOING! IN! MY! BODY! EVER! except PEDs which I will be putting in my body actually very often now because I do steroids, but of course that does not break my sacred vow. I am more disciplined than you 🙂 — Ryan Nemeth (@ryrynemnem) June 3, 2026 There’s plenty of reason to believe he’s talking about CM Punk, who has long asserted he is straight edge and just recently made the news for looking absolutely JACKED in the gym during his time off from WWE. The two have a long history from their time together in AEW, where Nemeth actually sued the company and Punk personally. He alleged Punk assaulted him and “undertook a campaign to terrorize and intimidate” him with the blessing of Tony Khan, who he claimed “had a deep fascination” with Punk. He also said Punk blackballed him in the industry. Nemeth has taken shots at Punk multiple times throughout the years, including calling him the “softest man alive.” Like I said, he doesn’t explicitly state he’s talking about Punk here but it seems clear that’s exactly the case.
