Dominik Mysterio has established himself as one of WWEs top heels over the past couple of years and its not really hard to see why. After all, whenever he speaks, fans instantly boo him without remorse. He was also CM Punks first opponent after Punk returned to WWE and Mysterio has now admitted that he didnt expect that to ever happen.
Dominik Mysterio and CM Punk have only faced off in non-televised live events, including a match during the post-Christmas show at Madison Square Garden last year. Mysterio was chosen as Punks first opponent after The Second City Saint returned to WWE and it was definitely a big deal for the young star.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Dominik Mysterio admitted he was surprised by the selection, considering the wealth of talent on WWEs Raw and SmackDown rosters, but he was deeply grateful for the opportunity.
Mysterio shared that he didnt initially expect to be the one facing Punk, given the current lineup of WWE stars. The responsibility of being Punks first opponent after a decade away was both surprising and meaningful to him. He reflected on the moment he was informed, saying it felt special to have earned WWEs confidence for such a high-profile match. When WWE approached him about facing Punk on the live events tour, he embraced the challenge and looked forward to the opportunity.
Dominik Mysterio already made it clear that he hopes to face off against CM Punkin the future as he hates The Second City Saint. Regardless, we will have to wait and see if Mysterio will ever get to square off against Punk again in the future, as fans would love to see that happen.
