CM Punk hands out free ice cream bars to crowd
At the end of his AEW Rampage in-ring promo, CM Punk announced he’d be giving out free ice cream bars to everyone in attendance.
In 2011, Punk called for WWE to revive its classic ice cream bars but it never happened.
His his post-show media call he said: “I used to do it all the time when I would Q&As at comic-cons and stuff like that.
“I would bring people donuts, pizza. And to me these ice cream bars represent an idea, an idea that was gift-wrapped to people that didn’t bother to take the time to try and understand their audience. This is the easiest home run I’ve ever hit and this is a legit thank you.”
