On December 26, 2023, CM Punk competed in his first match in WWE since the Royal Rumble in 2014.
Punk faced Dominik Mysterio in his return bout, a match that was a decade in the making, stemming from Punk's feud with Rey Mysterio in 2010.
Since 2010, Dominik has hated Punk.
"I hate CM Punk. I hate CM Punk. He's old. He disappeared for what, 30 years, came back and he's now 60 and still wrestling. He tortured me when I was a kid. I was 12 years old and he was probably 45 at the time, maybe 50. I don't like CM Punk. He traumatized me as a kid. Who does that to a 12-year-old?" asked Dominik while speaking to Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda.
That math checks out.
Dominik and Punk have traded social media shots at each other since Punk made his return to WWE.
While making the media rounds, Liv Morgan said he WrestleMania dream match is her and Dominik against Punk and AJ Lee. You can find her full comments by clicking here.
