Punk, who was bloodied during the match, defeated Samoa Joe thanks to a Pepsi Plunge finishing maneuver. He celebrated the victory with some fans sitting near the ring.

The pro wrestling veteran’s attention was caught from a fan holding up a sign that read, "Trans rights are human rights." Punk smiled as the camera caught the moment.

The Chicago native then walked to the back with the Real World Championship in tow.

Punk is not one to stray from political messaging.

In May 2022, Punk slammed those messaging him on Instagram over his apparent support for abortion rights following the leaked Supreme Court decision draft that would overrule Roe v. Wade. He posted a photo of himself on his account showing him wearing a blue T-shirt that showed a picture of a vagina with the message, "Get your own, then tell it what to do."
