Noam Dar Calls Out CM Punk After “Pepsi” Comments About NXT Men’s Division

CM Punk stirred the pot with his latest comments—and now Noam Dar is stepping up to respond.

During ESPN’s WrestleMania 41 Reaction special, Punk didn’t hold back when comparing the NXT men’s and women’s rosters. He said he believes that “if you’re a guy on the main roster, you’re not so worried when looking down at the men’s division in NXT,” but suggested that main roster women should be motivated by the rising stars in NXT’s women’s division.

That didn’t sit well with NXT Heritage Cup Champion Noam Dar, who wasted no time firing back at Punk. Taking to Twitter, Dar called out Punk directly, writing: “Hey Pepsi I’m back now so let’s find out.”

Dar just made his in-ring return on the April 22 episode of NXT, defeating Lexis King to reclaim the Heritage Cup. It was Dar’s first match in nearly a year after being sidelined with a serious leg injury in May 2024.

Meanwhile, CM Punk last wrestled during WrestleMania 41 Night One, where he and Roman Reigns lost to Seth Rollins after Rollins pulled a shocking alignment with Paul Heyman.
