CM Punk of the WWE Challenges Chris Brown To A Wrestling Match

WWE wrestler CM Punk has posted a video online, challenging Chris Brown -- who he calls a "cowardly, little boy" -- to "put on some gloves, and get in the ring."

The drama between the guys began earlier this week when the pro wrestler tweeted that he "would like @chrisbrown [to] fight somebody that can defend themselves," referring to Chris 2009 guilty plea for assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna.  E! reports that Brown tweeted back, accusing CM Punk of taking steroids. The crooner deleted the message, but not before CM Punk got wind of it.

In his video response, CM Punk confronts Chris, saying "I never intended to include Chris Brown's name in one of my tweets to start some sort of a controversy or to gain publicity or anything like that. [But] now that he's throwing accusations my way about using steroids, I feel the need to reply," CM Punk says in the clip.  "I'm a lifelong, proud, drug-free straight-edge individual."

CM Punk later invites Chris to meet him in the ring to settle their feud, adding, "All proceeds [from the fight] can go to a women's shelter of my choosing."  In a message that since has been deleted, Brown responded, "@cmpunk the video u just posted was cute! It's so funny how defensive u are."  He later wrote, "Note:today will be the last day I bring @cmpunk existence up! The confrontations that people continuously bring my way are very amusing."

Brown writes that it's "...too time consuming to argue wit every person who has their own issues to deal with!"  Russell Simmons reached out to Chris in a tweet, encouraging him to save his energy and "Let God handle em."    WATCH THE VIDEO
