At a recent media event, WWE’s CM Punk created quite the media melee. He lingered in the ring after the main event angle on Monday night, and the whole roster’s attention had been focused on him. The mood changed overnight. Former Intercontinental Champions Grayson Waller and Austin Theory, aka A-Town Down Under, cut a brutal backstage promo on Punk after the show. Their antics involved heckling the audience and threatening the life of comedian Bert Kreischer, who made the best appearance of the whole night.
The evening was much more than the riveting ring battle. In typical Kreischer shirtless fashion, Kreischer leaped onto the WWE stage and had the audience in a frenzy. In a segment throwing it to WWE superstar Otis, Kreischer kept everyone on their toes with his charismatic and improvisational approach. The duo entertained fans by tearing off their shirts to reveal their expansive bellies, much to the delight of the crowd. The House faction American Made definitely wrecked their happy party. Joining this quintet are Julius Creed, Brutus Creed, Chad Gable and Ivy Nile.
While Kreischer’s comedic twist added a light-hearted element to the night’s events, the tension escalated when Waller and Theory turned their attention toward CM Punk. Their combined push to take him out raised the stakes in the arena even further, proof again of WWE programming’s always surprisingly combustible drama. Waller’s threats reached Kreischer as he allegedly threatened the comedian telling him that he would be the next target on their hit list.
Creatively, Kreischer was partying from the audience all night, beer in hand, husband to be medieval—living his best life. Later, he moved into a backstage promo, where he was interviewed. His unrestrained method stunned each comedy follower and wrestling aficionado. This passion further cemented his status as the ideal guest amongst the flamboyant spectacle that was WWE.
Kreischer and Otis made the most waves with their unusual match-up. The evening finished on this triumphant high, as they celebrated together, bathing in the cheers from an elated audience. Their shared moment exemplified the unique blend of humor and athleticism that WWE is known for, highlighting Kreischer’s ability to captivate audiences beyond traditional stand-up comedy.
