WWE isn't quite done taking shots at former champion, now UFC fighter CM Punk.
During Monday Night Raw in Chicago, his hometown faithful tried to take over the show with "C-M-Punk" chants, only for Stephanie McMahon to put the audience in their collective place.

Punk was choked out by Mickey Gall in his UFC debut at UFC 203, which turned out to be more embarrassing than I think any of us could have imagined:
Shortly after the bout, at the next WWE PPV, Dolph Ziggler and The Miz recreated the scene in an ode to their former colleague:
Rush in, double leg takedown, rear naked choke. Was this a subtle nod to the Punk fight last night? #WWEBacklash pic.twitter.com/jGy9i65hto

If you don't think WWE still holds grudges, you're clearly not watching.
