CM Punk had the internet doing a double take after his appearance at Fanatics Fest on Sunday—thanks to a metal tub, a speedo, and some serious posing.
The former WWE Champion joined Kevin Hart for a Cold as Balls segment, where both sat in ice baths as part of the show’s signature setup. But Punk went a step further.
In footage obtained by Ringside News, Punk was seen standing in the ice bath wearing nothing but a black speedo, striking over-the-top bodybuilding-style poses. He flexed both arms while standing tall in the freezing tub, channeling classic pro wrestling and fitness competition vibes in the most CM Punk way possible.
The moment immediately caught attention online—not just for Punk’s physical transformation, but for the sheer absurdity and confidence of it all. The set, decorated in sports jerseys and themed props, made it even more surreal.
Also at Fanatics Fest that day was Kevin Owens, who was spotted walking through the venue with a law enforcement escort. It was later confirmed that Owens was on site to participate in autograph signings, even as he remains out of action due to a serious neck injury.
Owens recently spoke to Le10Sport about his condition, revealing that Randy Orton connected him with the surgeon who repaired his own neck. Owens is still being monitored by multiple specialists and has not yet undergone surgery.
As for Punk, no promo was needed. Just a speedo, some ice water, and enough attitude to freeze over the entire room.
