“CM Punk’s Backstage Photo With Ex-AEW Champions BREAKS Internet—AEW Star Reacts!”
CM Punk set the wrestling world buzzing again — and this time, it only took one backstage photo.
After WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Salt Lake City, Punk celebrated winning the vacant World Heavyweight Championship by snapping a picture with three other former AEW names who are now holding WWE gold: Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill, and NXT Champion Ricky Saints. Jade also made headlines by capturing the Women’s Championship, while Cody retained his Undisputed title.
The image instantly lit up social media, with fans stunned to see a group once associated with AEW now wearing WWE’s biggest championships. The energy? All gold, all dominance, all WWE now.
AEW star Danhausen couldn’t resist jumping in. He reacted to Punk’s post with a “Pretty, pretty, pretty good” GIF — a playful nod of respect despite being on the other side of the wrestling world. Danhausen hasn’t been a regular on AEW programming since late 2023, though his contract reportedly runs through 2026 following an extension.
Fans are calling this the ultimate “We made it” moment for AEW-turned-WWE talent — and with Punk back on top, the story is only heating up.
