Fans often start doing CM Punk chants during WWE TV tapings or live events making it one of the most infamous catchphrases for them. The trend started ever since the former world champion left the pro-wrestling business and did not come back. Only once, there has been a situation where a superstar did something to let that chants to the superstar it directed to. It was The Rock who called Punk during a live show.

In case you don’t remember, The Rock was present in an episode of Monday Night Raw when the fans started a CM Punk chants. Seeing this, the former franchise player decided to call him on the spot. Punk could not respond to it even after The Rock tried to connect with him, multiple times.

In the recent Starrcast III appearance, CM Punk revealed what he was doing at that time that did not allow him to answer the call. You may check the highlights of the conversation as revealed by wwfoldschool.com,
On The Rock calling him in front of a live RAW crowd in 2017 (The Rock was there to film a segment of Fighting With My Family movie, where Paige defeats AJ Lee to win the WWE Divas Title. This led the fans chanting for CM Punk when The Rock went on to call him in front of the fans at the Staples Center):
“I was in the elevator, going to the bottom floor to walk Larry (his dog). I was in the elevator, no reception in the elevator. My phone, no messages, I get in the elevator, it’s really slow, by the time it gets down and I walk out and I have 87 messages on my phone. I think somebody is dead! I just get number after number, like ‘Answer your phone!’ I’m like, ‘F***, who’s dead? This sucks.’

I’m trying to figure out what’s going on and that weird number comes up again and I’m trying to answer it, but it’s not going through. I had no idea what was going on until I’m done with the walk, ‘Oh, Rock is calling me, live from the Staples Center, okay. This is f***in’ weird.’
I started texting him immediately after that, he got right back to me like, I’m like, ‘Oh, brother! I was trying to answer, I was outside, I was in an elevator.’ It just didn’t work out.”

Backstage situation after the incident was not much positive due to the legal war that CM Punk and WWE have been in. McMahons were not happy with the way The Rock went on to contact him, live. But they did not also tell anything to the Brahma Bull considering his power and influence. It was just a one-off incident which WWE had nothing to do with. On the other hand, it was also the last time that The Rock appeared in a WWE arena. CM Punk also noted the backstage happening after the incident that was not positive, at all. Here’s his reaction when he heard what happened backstage in WWE after that:
“Yes, I did hear, it was part of the text messages I was getting. A couple of people backstage were like, ‘It’s crazy back here right now. Couple broken headsets, sh*t is flying everywhere.’”
