CM Punk draws attention with unique MSG entrance, hints at potential John Cena match

CM Punk made an unexpected appearance at Madison Square Garden’s WWE Holiday Tour event, combining comedy with potential future storyline hints.

Following his victory over Ludwig Kaiser, Punk emerged wearing only a towel and shower cap to intervene in the main event aftermath.

The incident occurred after Dominik Mysterio and Kaiser attacked Damian Priest, who had just finished an unsuccessful World Heavyweight Championship challenge against Gunther in a Steel Cage Match. Despite his unconventional attire, Punk managed to maintain his composure even when his towel nearly slipped during the confrontation.

Tribute to John Cena signals potential rivalry

Earlier in the evening, Punk incorporated John Cena’s signature Five Knuckle Shuffle into his winning performance against Kaiser. This gesture takes on particular significance as Cena prepares for his return to WWE on January 6, coinciding with RAW’s historic move to Netflix.

The timing of Punk’s tribute, combined with Cena’s upcoming farewell tour announcement, has sparked discussions about a potential matchup between these two veterans.

Their paths have crossed before, but the landscape of WWE in 2025 could finally set the stage for this long-awaited encounter.
