CM Punk Storms MSG in a Towel to Save Damian Priest After Steel Cage Match

Leave it to CM Punk to turn a steel cage match into an unforgettable spectacle. At WWE’s Madison Square Garden holiday live event, Damian Priest took on Gunther in a grueling battle for the World Heavyweight Championship. But the real shocker came after the match, when Punk stormed the ring—draped only in a towel—to save the day.

Here’s how it all went down: Gunther retained his title after a chaotic main event that saw interference from Ludwig Kaiser and Dominik Mysterio. Just when it seemed Damian Priest might be left licking his wounds, the MSG crowd erupted as CM Punk hit the ring. Wearing nothing but a towel and his trademark smirk, Punk cleared house, helping Priest fend off the post-match attack.

Punk didn’t just bring the fight—he brought the laughs too. Grabbing a mic, he quipped, “Sorry I’m late, I was in the shower,” sending the crowd into a frenzy. After dispatching the heels, Punk congratulated Priest on headlining MSG, adding a feel-good moment to an already wild night.

Punk’s unexpected—and hilariously underdressed—appearance raises plenty of questions. Was this another signal that Punk’s road to WrestleMania will include some major twists? Or is it just another example of his unpredictable style? Either way, fans can’t get enough of the Chicago native’s antics.
