CM Punk Reflects On First WWE Match In 10 Years

On Boxing Day, CM Punk wrestled his first WWE match in nearly a decade as he took on Dominik Mysterio in front of a sold out Madison Square Garden as part of WWE’s Holiday Tour. Punk defeated Mysterio in around 13 minutes, and he took to the mic after the match.

He reflected on his return, talking about how thankful he is to be where he is today, and then discussed his future plans over the next few months.

“I'll be honest, there's a little bit, a little part of me that came here for me but you guys are the high tide that raises all ships. You have carried me throughout my career to my greatest moments and this is one of them. So all you, look to your left and I want you to look to your right, I want you to look at the people behind you, I want you to say hello to your neighbors, I want you to shake hands. We are all in this together.

When I wake up in the morning and somebody asks me how my day is, I say, 'Hey I woke up this morning, everything else after that I'm fortunate for. Everyday I'm in this ring in front of all of you, I am fortunate for. I came back here to finish what I started. It starts tonight in the world's most famous arena in front of you, the greatest fans on Earth. And I know I got stiff competition but I'm here to finish what I started and when I win the Royal Rumble and go on to main event WrestleMania, ladies and gentlemen I'm here to let you know, that isn't me finishing my story, that's just me getting started.”

Punk will be wrestling once again on December 30 against Dominik Mysterio, and will then go on to compete in the 30-man Royal Rumble match.
