Monday night’s episode of WWE RAW took place at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and was headlined by a heated in-ring segment featuring WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, and “The Best in the World” CM Punk.
While the show ended on a tense note, what happened after RAW went off the air gave fans an unexpected and entertaining bonus segment.
Following the main event, A-Town Down Under—Austin Theory and Grayson Waller—attacked a battered CM Punk and then turned their attention to comedian Bert Kreischer, who was seated ringside. Waller taunted and threatened Kreischer, prompting the comedian to jump the barricade in response.
Punk quickly recovered and landed his signature GTS on both Theory and Waller. After clearing the ring, Punk invited Kreischer to join him inside. The comedian stepped through the ropes and, to the crowd’s delight, delivered a chokeslam to Waller. The segment ended with Punk and Kreischer celebrating together, sending the Minneapolis crowd home on a high note.
The surprise moment added a comedic and fan-pleasing twist to an already eventful night, showcasing the crossover appeal of WWE’s programming and Punk’s enduring popularity.
