CM Punk has had a perfect professional wrestling career. Be it the rage, love, laughter, injury, controversy, or anything else, he has lived through it all. However, his overall persona is built on the walls of his straight-edge lifestyle and a villainous character. But one cannot deny the fact that Punk has the power to leave the audience with big smiles.
Back in the late 200s, CM Punk grabbed a similar opportunity, leaving the fans giggling. At that time, The Miz’s wife, Maryse, was the WWE Divas Champion. Backstage, she was giving an interview when Punk decided to intervene. The former AEW star came up holding his WWE Money In The Bank briefcase. The clip can be watched below:

Passing through the then Divas Champion, Punk eyed the title in a very thoughtful manner. After pondering for a few minutes, Punk said, “Oh no.” It was evident that CM Punk wanted to cash in his briefcase against Maryse for the WWE Divas Championship, thus creating history in the process.
Though merely a filler, the clip gathered much love from the audience. Over the years, WWE has seen many matches involving men and women. This opened up the possibility for the two to meet in the ring. However, nothing of this sort happened and it was just an act by the Second City Saviour.
