Although CM Punk and Seth Rollins cannot stand each other, Punk's current focus is to destroy a top WWE heel.
Punk appeared at the Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) 128 event during SmackDown tonight. It seems like WWE is allowing him to continue announcing for CFFC.
At the event, CM Punk hyped up his upcoming WWE live event match against The Judgment Day's Dominik Mysterio. The former WWE Champion said the following:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"Watch me beat up 'Dirty' Dominik. I've been wanting to punch this kid in the face since he was eight years old. Now he's legal and I'm gonna destroy him." [0:11 - 0:18]

CM Punk will wrestle Dominik Mysterio in back-to-back matches
On December 26, 2023, CM Punk will wrestle in his very first match in nine years when he takes on Dominik Mysterio at a WWE live event. The Second City Saint will wrestle Dirty Dom again at a live event on December 30, 2023.
Dominik Mysterio is one of the biggest heels in WWE today. In an interview with Inside The Ropes, Dirty Dom said the following about his character:
"I don’t know. I think it’s kind of just always secretly been hidden in me, that I’m kind of just this d**k. Which, like with all things, it just came naturally to me, man. I don’t know what it was, but I think what really helped me was I guess when I was training with Lance [Storm] and with Jay Lethal, I guess everyone thought I was just gonna be a babyface like my dad and just be a good guy all the time," Dominik Mysterio said.

Dominik would love to beat Punk in the latter's first WWE match in almost a decade. It remains to be seen if The Judgment Day will interfere in the match in an attempt to help Dirty Dom defeat the Second City Saint.
