A past disagreement between CM Punk and Kevin Nash now appears to be resolved.

The two were seen sharing a friendly moment backstage at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony on Friday night. In video that surfaced online, Nash approached Punk to start the interaction. They shook hands, embraced, and spoke briefly. Punk was visibly smiling and laughing during the exchange, signaling a clear change in tone.

The interaction stands in contrast to the tension that had built between them in recent months.

In late December, Nash criticized Punk’s performance on the December 22 episode of WWE RAW. He specifically pointed out that Punk wrestled wearing a shirt during the match, which drew attention and sparked discussion.

Punk later responded in his own way. During a WWE live event, he appeared wearing two shirts, which many saw as a direct reference to Nash’s comments. The situation continued as both men addressed each other in interviews and public appearances, keeping the issue in the spotlight.

Now, the latest backstage moment suggests that the situation has cooled. While neither man has made a formal statement, their interaction at the Hall of Fame event indicates that the issue is no longer active.

The timing is notable, as Punk is set to headline WrestleMania 42. He will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns in the main event at Allegiant Stadium.

With WrestleMania 42 taking place on April 18 and April 19, the focus now shifts back to the ring. The brief but positive exchange between Punk and Nash suggests that their past issues are no longer a factor heading into the major event.
