CM Punk’s Unforgettable Words After Ending 10-Year WWE In-Ring Absence at MSG

CM Punk has been a huge draw after returning to WWE at Survivor Series last month and he has become progressively a bigger deal with every passing day, as fans continue to get more and more excited when they see him. He made his WWE in-ring return at Madison Square Garden against Dominik Mysterio and afterwards, Punk decided to cut an emotional promo on the crowd.

CM Punk faced Dominik Mysterio at Madison Square Garden on December 26th, part of WWE’s Holiday Tour. Fans chanted CM Punk from the moment the doors opened. Naturally, this was a big deal for fans and for Punk as well.

CM Punk previously hyped up his matches against Dominik Mysterio, stating that he couldn’t wait to destroy Mysterio now that he is of legal age, as he wanted to punch Mysterio since he was 8 years old.

The match ended with CM Punk winning after executing the GTS on Dominik Mysterio. Afterwards, The Second City Saint addressed the crowd as he cut a promo, making it clear his in-ring return was for the fans. He also further stated that maineventing WrestleMania 40 will be just the beginning of his story.

“Yeet! That was for my boy Uso back there.

“This was for all of you. 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. This is one of them. I want you to look to your left, look to your right, look behind you, say hello to your neighbors. Shake hands. We are all in this together.

“When I wake up in the morning and someone asks me how my day is, I say, ‘Hey, I woke up this morning.’ Everything else after that, I’m fortunate for.

“Every day I’m in the ring in front of all of you, I’m 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.

“I know I have stiff competition, but I’m here to finish what I started.

“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.”

CM Punk has already confirmed he will be competing in the Royal Rumble match next year, so it remains to be seen how Punk’s Road to WrestleMania will pan out next year.
