That former WWE star is CM Punk. While rumors circulate speculating his return to the squared circle, Punk has been seen relaxing in his downtime. While WWE denies wanting to take him back and IMPACT Wrestling making an offer, Punk took out some time to acknowledge Reigns.

The incident took place at the Chicago Blackhawks vs. Vegas Golden Knights match at the United Center on Saturday night. While in the crowd, the camera panned towards Punk, who held up the now iconic Reigns’ ‘One finger’ gesture.

Despite Reigns making the gesture famous, many fans found old photos of Punk doing the sign before Reigns. This sparked the question of who did it first, Punk or Reigns? This simple gesture may hint at Punk putting behind the previous beef he had with Reigns.

Reigns’ negative feelings towards CM Punk

While on the Load Management podcast in 2022, Reigns had some words for Punk. He said, “I don’t like the guy. I mean, I don’t know many people that do.” This came after Punk started a backstage brawl at AEW’s All Out PPV in September 2022. Reigns and Punk feuded while Reigns was part of The SHIELD in 2012.

Reigns also added, “But yeah, he probably has to be slapped around a few times in order to get his mind right.” The Head of the Table made it clear that with Punk’s actions in the WWE, his job as the Universal Champion got a lot harder. Despite these harsh words, Punks seems to have let the water go under the bridge amidst his possible return.
