‘Funniest guy in WWE’ – CM Punk goes viral for bizarre run-in at Madison Square Garden as he avoids wardrobe malfunction
Everybody needs a friend like CM Punk. ‘The Best in the World’ stole the show at WWE‘s Madison Square Garden event on Thursday evening (December 26) as he came to the aid of Damian Priest – wearing only a towel and a shower cap. Punk gave WWE fans a shock as he stormed the ring wearing only a towel and shower capx: @WWE Punk had picked up a hard-fought win over Ludwig Kaiser before the main event saw Gunther defend his World Heavyweight Championship in a steel cage match against Priest. With his work for the night seemingly done, the 46-year-old returned to the locker room and jumped in the shower. But as he was freshening up, Kaiser and Dominik Mysterio carried out a post-match attack on Priest, who was already banged up from an unsuccessful title challenge. With the numbers very much against him, the Puerto Rican star was in precarious position in the ring, and needed someone to make the save. Cue Punk, who came rushing down the ramp with a white towel wrapped around his waist. Doing his best to avoid what would have been a rather embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, Punk took the fight to Kaiser and Mysterio to even up the numbers. He hit Kaiser with his ‘Go to Sleep’ finishing move as Priest slammed Mysterio to the mat – much to the delight of the fans inside Madison Square Garden and many more on social media. Footage from the house show was shared by WWE and quickly went viral, with Punk’s stunt going down very well online. “He’s living his best life,” one person wrote on X. “Dude’s by far the funniest guy in the company right now,” another said.
