Dominik Mysterio comments on being CM Punk's first opponent during his return to WWE
RAW star Dominik Mysterio recently reacted to facing CM Punk in his first match back in the company last year.
CM Punk was fired by All Elite Wrestling following an altercation with Jack Perry at All In 2023. The 45-year-old returned to the company at Survivor Series 2023 and competed against Dirty Dom at a WWE live event at Madison Square Garden on December 26 last year.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on the INSIGHT podcast, Mysterio said he was honored to be the first person to punch Punk after the latter's return to the company. Mysterio noted that he was not expecting to be The Second City Saint's first opponent in the promotion.
"Yeah, kind of crazy. I didn't expect it to be me, just because we have so much great talent right now, especially the roster we have today, RAW and SmackDown. But the fact that they trusted me to go in there with him on his first match back, like you said, after what, 10 years, I'm glad I was able to give him his first punch," said Dominik Mysterio.
