The former AEW star, who had wrestled and beaten The Miz earlier in the evening, ran down to the ring wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist and another over his head, having apparently come straight from the showers. The fan-favorite superstar stepped between the two rivals, exchanged a few words with each of them, calmed the situation down, and even raised both of their hands to end the show.

The hilarious moment didn’t end there. CM Punk later shared a video on his Instagram Story from another WWE live event in Bakersfield, California. In the clip, Punk was seated backstage signing promotional posters when The Very Nice, Very Evil star walked over to confront him.

Danhausen jokingly blamed Punk for the previous night’s chaos. He complained that he had been forced to leave the locker room showers just to stop Punk and Rhodes from fighting, humorously scolding the Undisputed WWE Champion for putting him in that situation.

You can watch the exchange below:

The “shower towel save” was a direct, funny nod to December 2024, when CM Punk famously ran out to the ring at Madison Square Garden wearing only a towel to save Damian Priest.

The American Nightmare also couldn’t help but laugh at what unfolded after the match. Taking to his Instagram Story, the former Undisputed WWE Champion reacted to the now-viral clip of Danhausen running to the ring in nothing but towels to separate him and CM Punk, making it clear he appreciated the unexpected comedy.

Cody Rhodes also reminded fans that his tag team run with Punk wasn’t over just yet. The two are scheduled to team together for two more live events in Bakersfield, California, and Springfield, Illinois.

“Gotta laugh sometime… Cody/Punk tag team 2 more shows. Bakersfield CA. Springfield, IL,” wrote Rhodes.

This live-event blowup served as the final stop before CM Punk defends his Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes at the upcoming two-night SummerSlam event in Minneapolis.

It will be interesting to see who will come out victorious at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
