WWE Posts Video of Finn Bálor and CM Punk Handshake After SmackDown MITB Qualifier

The official @WWE account shared a clip captioned “Respect 🤝 @FinnBalor | @CMPunk,” showing the two wrestlers shaking hands (with a Gunther appearance also noted by some viewers) following a Money in the Bank qualifier on the Sept. 25/26, 2026 episode of SmackDown, in which Punk advanced. It is circulating among wrestling fans because it captures a sportsmanship moment after a match many expected Bálor to win, sparking discussion about booking, Bálor’s recent losses, and Punk’s continued push toward a potential record third MITB briefcase.
