CM Punk should’ve hit the 5 Knuckle Shuffle on Eddie Kingston

i dont care who does it, if I see a proto-bomb I immediately assume whoever it is needs to pop-up and tease a 5-knuckle shuffle. Thank you @JohnCena for conditioning me to pop and thank you @CMPunk for making me pop

I legit fucking thought CM Punk was gonna break out the Cena 5 Knuckle Shuffle
