CM Punk gives funny response to Jeff Hardy’s ‘Hit and Run’ angle on WWE SmackDown

On last week’s WWE SmackDown, fans saw WWE superstar Elias fall victim of a hit-an-run right outside the WWE Performance Centre. WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman, who was present at the kayfabe crime scene, stated that he saw a car swerve into Elias’ vehicle. Authorities on the scene searched the abandoned car and concluded that Jeff Hardy was driving the vehicle. Police later found Jeff Hardy in a drunk state and took him to the station.

While searching for the accused, the actor who played one of the police officers, made a major mistake that made him a target of WWE Champion CM Punk. During the segment, the actor picked up a full bottle of beer from the car and concluded that it belonged to Jeff Hardy with just a sniff. CM Punk said that the actor claimed it was much like Jeff Hardy “calling bingo numbers.” CM Punk said the whole scenario was funny and he was ‘dying laughing’.
