A WWE spokesperson told TMZ: &amp;quot;WWE does not condone this type of language or bias and we reinforce that with our talent who are independent contractors.&amp;quot; CM Punk later tweeted to express regret for having used the inappropriate language. He wrote: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m glad TMZ posted that video because everybody needs to be held accountable for their bulls**t, me included. What I said was bulls**t\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 I&amp;#039;m embarrassed.
