CM Punk mocked Seth Rollins in a dramatic post-show moment after WWE Raw went off the air on April 8, donning the World Heavyweight Champion’s jacket and imitating his trademark laugh in front of a roaring live crowd.
The moment came just minutes after comedian Bert Kreischer delivered two chokeslams in the ring with help from Punk. The crowd at the arena witnessed Punk pick up Rollins’ jacket, left behind during the heated main event segment, and slip it on while laughing maniacally—mirroring Rollins' signature mockery.
This unscripted sequence followed the official end of Raw, which concluded with a chaotic brawl between Punk and Rollins. After Rollins curb-stomped Punk during the show-closing segment involving Paul Heyman, Punk retaliated once cameras stopped rolling.
He returned to the ring and delivered Go To Sleep (GTS) finishers to Austin Theory and Grayson Waller before calling Kreischer back in for a final dose of action. With Punk’s guidance, the comedian hit back-to-back chokeslams on the laid-out Superstars.
The WWE’s official X (formerly Twitter) account shared a clip of the moment, writing:

Earlier in the night, Kreischer appeared backstage with American Alpha and Alpha Academy in a comedic segment involving shirt-tearing antics. The episode also featured comedian Tony Hinchcliffe on commentary during the WWE Tag Team Title bout between The New Day and The War Raiders.
Fan reactions poured in online as clips of Punk’s jacket stunt surfaced. Some cheered the return of Punk’s rebellious persona, while others saw it as a direct challenge to Rollins’ authority in the ongoing feud.

I love that they have real beef. Makes it so much better knowing Punk actually thinks of Seth like this and Seth is somewhere seething.

The 10-time world champion’s mockery adds another layer to his intensifying rivalry with Rollins, with their next encounter now loaded with even more personal animosity.
As WWE continues its Netflix-era push into crossover entertainment, post-show moments like this keep the energy high and the social buzz buzzing.
