WATCH: CM Punk mocks Seth Rollins after WWE Raw goes off air, fans react
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: Looks like @CMPunk found a new tag team partner after #WWERaw ... and his name is @bertkreischer! 💪 — WWE (@WWE) April 9, 2025 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. CM Punk really out here trolling Seth Rollins 😂 That impersonation was gold! Punk's got a way of making everything hilarious, and I'm here for it. The WWE drama never disappoints! 🤣🔥 — Bonnie Hart (@Bonniehartxo) April 10, 2025 He does a good Seth no doubt — Hausmeister (@witebred1) April 9, 2025 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. — fictitious (@fictitiousfruit) April 9, 2025 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.

CM Punk helps Bert Kreischer hit chokeslams after WWE Raw goes off air
Comedian Bert Kreischer made an in-ring appearance on this week's episode of WWE Raw, chokeslamming two stars with help from CM Punk after the broadcast had ended. The post-show moment was part of an ongoing collaboration between WWE and Netflix, highlighting the show's increased integration of celebrity appearances. WWE Raw continued its Netflix-era trend of incorporating celebrity guests as comedian and actor Bert Kreischer featured both at ringside and in a backstage segment during the April 8 episode. The show concluded with a high-energy brawl between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, but it was the post-show antics that had the crowd on their feet. Following the main event, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller entered the ring, only to be interrupted by CM Punk. Despite taking a curb stomp from Rollins just moments earlier, Punk delivered a GTS (Go To Sleep) to both Theory and Waller. He then introduced Kreischer into the ring, helping him hit back-to-back chokeslams on the downed Superstars. The WWE's official X (formerly Twitter) account posted the moment, captioning it. Looks like @CMPunk got a new tag team partner in @bertkreischer who hit a pair of CHOKESLAMS after #WWERaw on @netflix went off the air! 👀 — WWE (@WWE) April 8, 2025 Earlier in the broadcast, Kreischer appeared in a backstage segment with American Alpha and Alpha Academy. The segment saw Kreischer and Otis tear their shirts in a moment of comedic hype. His involvement with the WWE follows his developing friendship with Cody Rhodes, formed during the filming of the Go-Big Show television series. Kreischer wasn't the only comedic figure involved in this week's episode. Fellow comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, a known wrestling enthusiast, joined Pat McAfee and Michael Cole on commentary for the WWE tag team title match between The New Day and The War Raiders. Hinchcliffe is also set to host the upcoming 'Roast of WrestleMania.' The main show ended with a dramatic segment involving Paul Heyman, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk. Heyman pledged loyalty to both Roman Reigns and Punk before Rollins threatened physical harm. Punk intervened to protect Heyman, triggering a heated brawl with Rollins that closed the episode. As WWE continues its crossover with Netflix, moments like these show the promotion's intent to blend entertainment with wrestling, attracting fans from multiple spheres.
