CM Punk didn’t just borrow another WWE Superstar’s entrance gear this weekend—he turned Seth Rollins’ jacket into the punchline.
A fan video that’s now making the rounds from WWE’s July 26 live event in Bakersfield, California shows Punk walking onto the stage wearing one of Rollins’ trademark jackets, looking like he had every intention of making it part of his entrance. He didn’t.
Punk soaked in the reaction from the crowd as he made his way onto the stage, but the second he hit his signature pose at the top of the ramp, he yanked the jacket off and flung it to the side before continuing to the ring as if it had suddenly become worthless.
The message obviously wasn’t exactly subtle. With Punk and Rollins’ feud still raging, fans immediately saw the moment as another jab at his longtime rival—one delivered without Punk saying a single word. It’s also becoming something of a habit.
Just 24 hours earlier at WWE’s Stockton live event, Punk made his entrance wearing Trick Williams‘ signature white fur coat. Williams noticed almost immediately, joking in a post he later deleted, “I been looking for my jacket.” And earlier this month, Punk amused Charlotte Flair by casually walking around backstage wearing one of her glittering entrance robes before she shared the clip online with the caption, “This made my day.”
Apparently, borrowing other Superstars’ gear has become one of Punk’s favorite live-event games. But unlike the laughs he got from Trick Williams and Charlotte Flair, Seth Rollins’ jacket didn’t get to stay on very long. Punk made sure of that.
