CM Punk involved in a heartwarming segment with former WWE Intercontinental Champion after AEW Dynamite went off-air
In the aftermath of this week's AEW Dynamite, CM Punk and Cody Rhodes embraced each other with a hug. The incident occurred after the show went off the air.
Clips of the incident have been making the rounds on Twitter. As seen in the video, Cody Rhodes invited a cancer survivor into the ring after the show went off the air. The former TNT Champion then laid down for the pinfall, and AEW President Tony Khan did the honors of making the three count.
Awww! So #wholesome Hugs!! @TonyKhan and @realrubysoho and @CMPunk @CodyRhodes @aew https://t.co/bYbV2DS6Pp
Before this segment, Khan hugged Ruby Soho, which eventually prompted Rhodes and CM Punk making their way out to the ring.
Punk then addressed the fans at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis, as he thanked the crowd for giving him a standing ovation.
“I’m not even from here and you guys treat me like this is my hometown." - said CM Punk. (H/T: Wrestling Inc)
