WWE presented their annual Madison Square Garden live event last night. The show featured some internet-breaking moments, topped with a Steel Cage Match between Gunther and Damian Priest. However, above all of them, CM Punk managed to make headlines with yet another hilarious antic to save The Punisher against the odds.
During the main event, Priest found himself outnumbered by Ludwig Kaiser and Dominik Mysterio inside the steel cage. With the odds stacked against him, The Best in the World came to his rescue in the most unexpected fashion. Punk rushed out in nothing but a towel and clutching a showerhead. He executed all his signature moves while managing to hold onto the towel, leaving the WWE Universe exhilarated.
The Second City Saint’s antics electrified the crowd inside the legendary Madison Square Garden. Even Damian Priest appeared stunned by the hilariously unconventional rescue from the former AEW star. Not only did he make the save, but Punk also delivered a fiery promo endorsing The Punisher, all while clutching onto that towel.

The Straight Edge Superstar remained unserious throughout the night. Before his match with Kaiser, he playfully performed a ‘Snowman’ with the referee in the ring. Later, during his clash with the Imperium member, he paid homage to John Cena, blending humor with nostalgia in a way only he could.
