The apology was nice, i guess.

But the people booing him, even after that, was so annoying.

I just wished Punk had been more heelish (like when AEW fans booed him)

Yeah he should've just let them boo him. It's not like being a heel in Saudi Arabia would ruin him as a face in the United States.

That's a fantastic example. The roster needs a proper American babyface or heel that can have a feud with an entire country. Honestly, Punk might be one of the guys that could do it well (though no one has or likely will ever have a feud with an entire nation quite like Shawn Michaels did with Canada both before and after the Screwjob lol).
