In 2009, CM Punk formed a group called Straight Edge Society. The group comprised of him, Luke Gallows, Joey Mercury, and Serena. Punk was arguably the best heel back in 2010, and wanted Rey Mysterio to join them. Mysterio refused, and this fueled a personal rivalry between the two. Punk even got Mysterio's kids involved in a few segments.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

The stakes were raised for their match at Over The Limit 2010. If Punk won, Mysterio would join the SES. If not, Punk's head would be shaved bald. The match was brilliant and didn't let the fans down. CM Punk got busted in the opening minutes. Towards the end, the Straight Edge Superstar felt victory was within sight, but Mysterio rolled up an overconfident Punk to secure the win.
