CM Punk, following his transition from AEW to WWE, has maintained connections with some AEW personalities, notably Danhausen. Punk recently achieved a major milestone by headlining WWE WrestleMania 41 Night 2 in a triple threat showdown with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, marking his first WWE main event at this prestigious event. This milestone led to Danhausen presenting Punk with a unique gift to commemorate the occasion.
Danhausen, an AEW roster member currently less active on television, showcased their friendship during Punk’s appearance on his vlog, Love That Danhausen. Danhausen revealed that he traveled to New Jersey for SummerSlam, where he was involved in signing events while Punk competed. He surprised Punk with a commemorative gift to celebrate his breakthrough as a WrestleMania main eventer.
“Anyways, I followed you to New Jersey for Slammer Slam. You’re here. I’m doing signings, making lots of money. And I bought a gift for you because you finally main evented Monday Night Wrestling Mania. So this is a gift for you.” —Danhausen
The gift was a specially designed T-shirt featuring Bret Hart, AJ Lee, Danhausen, and CM Punk. Punk expressed his gratitude for the thoughtful present, while Danhausen playfully suggested that wearing the T-shirt would help Punk secure the World Heavyweight Championship. Shortly after, CM Punk briefly captured the World Title at SummerSlam before Seth Rollins quickly cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to take the championship from him.
