CM Punk made his WWE return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023. He later exchanged a bunch of jibes with Dominik Mysterio on social media. Mysterio recently took a shot at Punk by sharing a GIF highlighting a botched move by him during his AEW run.

Punk later stated that he had been wanting to punch Mysterio since he was an eight-year-old kid. Punk added that he would destroy Dominik now that he is a legal adult.

"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."

CM Punk looked in good spirits at tonight's Madison Square Garden live event. He is seemingly enjoying his WWE run so far and is looking forward to winning the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble and punching his ticket to the main event of WrestleMania 40.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
