WWE’s YouTube channel released a video today of World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk reacting to his looks over the years on WWE Break It Down. One of the looks he commented on was him dressing up as Jeff Hardy the week after defeating Jeff in a loser leaves WWE Steel Cage Match.
Below is what Punk had to say about dressing up like Jeff Hardy:
“Next picture’s a classic. A really great moment. I think maybe opened up a lot of people’s eyes backstage as to how my brain works and that I really did have a mind for wrestling at the time because this is just pure, this is evil in a way. This is being able to manipulate and upset people in the audience. I beat Jeff in a loser leaves WWE cage match capping off the entire feud and then I’m always looking for a way to just habitually step over the line and this was that. I got to come out to Jeff’s music, dressed as Jeff, face paint on, and it was a real son of a bitch moment when people realized that it wasn’t Jeff and it was me. As far as impressions go, it’s a 10 outta 10, and the rib was on me because I had to rehearse this constantly and certain people thought it was really, really funny. So I had to all out dance like Jeff and do this during rehearsal, like ad nauseum like 10 times over. You can see right there, like you squint, and that looks like Jeff doing the little dance and I got the outfit on. Classic.”
