Damian Priest Shows Love for CM Punk’s Towel-Clad Rescue at MSG Live Event

Damian Priest isn’t holding back his appreciation for CM Punk after the Chicago native came to his rescue at WWE’s Madison Square Garden holiday event. Following Priest’s grueling steel cage match against Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, Punk shocked the crowd by storming the ring—wearing nothing but a towel—to fend off Ludwig Kaiser and Dominik Mysterio.

While the MSG crowd erupted for Punk’s hilariously underdressed save, it was Priest’s heartfelt reaction after the show that stole the spotlight. Taking to Twitter, Priest wrote, “Get yo self a friend like this! @CMPunk is my dawg!”

Punk’s appearance wasn’t just a highlight for fans—it was a moment that cemented his support for Priest. Punk grabbed a mic after the chaos and cracked, “Sorry I’m late, I was in the shower,” before congratulating Priest on headlining MSG, one of wrestling’s most iconic venues. The pair’s mutual respect was evident, making the moment even more impactful.

Priest’s reaction on social media has only added to the excitement surrounding Punk’s latest antics. Fans are already speculating whether this friendship could lead to an in-ring alliance—or perhaps something even bigger on the road to WrestleMania.
