CM Punk is radiating in Las Vegas.
Punk posted the following image on his Instagram Stories, showing himself on top of a building in Las Vegas. Considering the location of the W Hotel and Luxor Hotel in the background, it looks like Punk is standing on top of Allegiant Stadium, where WrestleMania 42 will take place.
CM Punk didn’t specify what the photo is for. Despite that, there are some hints that fans could see him bring back one of his most popular looks.
CM Punk teased bringing back a retro look
CM Punk is wearing a black track jacket with a white stripe. Fans will recognize this as his entrance attire during his time in Ring of Honor. The caption also says, “Radiate,” which is one of the lyrics from AFI’s “Miseria Cantare (The Beginning).”
“Nothing from nowhere, I’m no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame… Incinerate”
That song, the opening track from the band’s 2003 album Sing The Sorrow, was also Punk’s entrance theme in Ring of Honor. Fans might recall that Punk used the song (and wore a similar jacket) for his brutal Dog Collar match against MJF at AEW Revolution 2022. However, he’s never used the song for a WWE match.
Punk’s ROH, or Retro, look appears in WWE 2K26. However, this is likely for a WrestleMania 42 promo, similar to the one Triple H is featured in. (Maybe we could see him use it as an intro, similar to how he used “Sirius” in Chicago this year. Punk said he’s tied to “Cult of Personality,” so anything else is likely just a special occasion.)
No matter where it ends up, fans will have to wait and see the official reveal, but it looks like CM Punk is going back in time for a fun promo.
