CM Punk Says Viral Two-Shirt Spot Was House-Show Gag, Not a Shot at Kevin Nash

Overview

• Punk said the two-shirt reveal was “not that deep” and was done solely to pop his opponent during an untelevised show.
• Fan video from a late-2025 house show captured Punk removing a shirt to reveal an identical one, a clip that spread widely on social media.
• Many observers interpreted the bit as a response to Kevin Nash’s criticism of Punk wrestling in a T-shirt on the December 22 Raw broadcast.
• Punk described house shows as a place for levity and cited past antics, including a towel-and–shower cap entrance at Madison Square Garden.
• The World Heavyweight Champion recently retained his title against Bron Breakker on the premiere episode of Raw on Netflix.
