CM Punk accidentally got locked in WWE HQ and had to ask fans for help

After his pre-show appearance at Backlash 2024, CM Punk documented his time being trapped in the WWE headquarters on Instagram.

Despite the multitude of amazing matches and unforgettable moments at WWE Backlash France, it was a behind-the-scenes incident that captured everyone’s interest. This incident involved CM Punk accidentally getting locked inside WWE HQ.

During the pre-show at WWE HQ in Connecticut, Punk was involved in an incident where he became locked inside the bathroom while trying to change out of his suit after the event.

In a string of comical Instagram stories, Punk shared that he had been confined indoors for such a lengthy period that when he finally emerged from the restroom, everyone at headquarters had already departed.

He stated, “I am currently at, what used to be known as Titan Towers or Titan Towers II, but I’m not sure what it’s called now. I decided to come here and try to pull off some Phantom of the Opera antics, just to see how long it would take for someone to notice my presence.”

“I am not aware of the employee work schedule, the specific work shifts of each individual, and the numerous keycard-access doors throughout the building, as I do not possess a keycard.”

After heading to the gym, the ex-WWE Champion mentioned that he might end up missing his flight back home. Despite not being aware of a time restriction, he decided to make the most of his time and hit the gym. “Since I’m stuck here and might miss my flight, I might as well get a workout in,”he stated.

“Afterwards, I plan on exploring the area and potentially causing some mischief. I hope that no employees of this establishment are viewing this content online or on social media, as that would not bode well for me.”

After concluding the impromptu tour, Punk took a moment to appreciate the displayed photos of current NXT Champions Roxanne Perez and Trick Williams in another area of the building. He then stumbled upon an Andre the Giant statue and gave it a playful tap on the crotch.
