CM Punk showed up at Netflix’s ‘Night of Too Many Stars’ charity event and faced off against actor Steve Carell in a WWE 2K26 match.
Before the match began, Punk called out past celebrity crossovers in wrestling history and said that he was there to recuperate the cash Carell owed from the famous ‘Scott’s Tots’ episode of The Office. Carell fired back along with his own trash talk, saying that he was bringing the warmth.
The 2 then played the sport on stage, with Punk controlling his own character while Carell played a custom version of himself. When Carell tried to flee to the backstage area contained in the game, he actually ran backstage in real life too, so Punk chased him down, grabbed him, spun him around like a ragdoll, gorilla pressed him, and tossed him across the stage. The 2 ended the entire thing with a handshake.
The event was hosted by Jon Stewart and supported autism programs, services, and schools across the USA.

AMC has been impressed with the social media response to Broken Matt Hardy’s surprise return on TNA iMPACT!, and Matt himself revealed this during a recent edition of his “The Extreme Lifetime of Matt Hardy” podcast.
Matt revealed that AMC reached out after the segment aired and praised the large online engagement it generated. He pointed to the Instagram clips from the return, which crossed 1.2 million views. Matt also noted that The Hardy Boyz completely dominated that entire episode, something AMC was clearly very pleased with.
The return happened on the April 30 episode of TNA iMPACT!, when Broken Matt Hardy appeared out of nowhere to assist Jeff Hardy defeat Vincent. The lights went out, and after they got here back on, Broken Matt was standing right in front of Vincent along with his signature DELETE taunt. Jeff then finished the job from the highest rope.
The numbers speak for themselves, and AMC’s response confirms that the Broken Matt Hardy character still carries real value in 2026.
Matt also shared recent details about Dark Side Of The Ring Season 7, which premieres July 7 on Vice TV. The season will open with a three-part documentary on Jeff Jarrett and the history of TNA Wrestling.
Matt noted that each he and Jeff sat down for lengthy interviews, covering every thing from Jarrett’s early profession to non-public losses and his eventual return. He said,
“In speaking with Jeff Jarrett, had an amazing conversation with him a pair months ago, and he told me they were talking about doing this, and so they’re doing a Dark Side of the Ring, which is form of a redemption story, which could be very cool. We were sold on it. While we were out in Vegas, Jeff and I each did very long-form interviews talking about every thing from the very starting. Once we first met Jeff Jarrett, interacting with him, him and Owen asking if they may put the Tag Team titles on us after we were wearing tights back within the day with hope and faith and plaids, only for a number of weeks to form of construct us and make us. Go into every thing that Jeff Jarrett has been through, losing his friend Owen, losing his first wife, how his life has been.”
“Even as much as that with TNA, each time we left, each time we returned to WrestleMania 33, WWE, just the entire to-do. And it felt great to be a component of something that did feel like a redemption story,” Hardy said. “Because not only did we discuss how Jeff Jarrett got here out the opposite end in a significantly better place and the way he has gained everyone’s respect from what he has done, we talked in regards to the condition of TNA immediately, the way it is in place and it is definitely thriving on AMC.”
