‘I Know His Moveset’: WWE Star Says CM Punk Owes Him A Match

Judgment Day’s Dominik Mysterio has given his opinion of fellow WWE star CM Punk and thinks he’s “nothing special”.

Punk made his return to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames in November 2023 and would go on to face Mysterio at house shows in December of that year.

Mysterio recently reflected on facing Punk in 2023 during an appearance on No Contest Wrestling.

Believing that CM Punk owes him a match, Mysterio said:

“I had the great dishonor of welcoming Punk back after ten long years. It was everything I expected it to be, just an old man trying to do his thing. Thinks he’s still got it. He went out there in some plain black underwear. Didn’t even have his gear. It was definitely a sight to see.

“Overall, I’m glad the company was able to trust me to get in there with CM Punk and give him his first couple of punches back as a nice welcome-home gift. That energy we had in there was definitely something special.”

“I feel like he owes me something, too. I’m sure he remembers, he sang Happy Birthday to my sister. I was probably 12 years old and he sang Happy Birthday to her.

“He cornered my whole family when he had his sh**ty long black hair. What was his group? The society? (Straight Edge Society). I didn’t remember it because it doesn’t matter.

“Now that I’m my own man and he doesn’t have to corner me into a corner, I would love to get my hands on him again. Now that I’m prepared and ready.

“I’ve seen kind of what he can do. It’s nothing special. He does the same things. I’m pretty sure I can read his playbook. Actually, here’s a good one, I know his moveset.”

Mysterio’s ‘moveset’ comments were a jab at Punk, who recently voiced his distaste for wrestlers using this term.

Footage of Punk with the Straight Edge Society and the Mysterio family can be seen below this news story, including the rendition of Happy Birthday for Aalyah.
