Hi, I'm Donna, the editor for WWE at EssentiallySports. I help our writers dot their i's, cross their t's, and ensure they get all their facts straight. I am particularly invested in the world of wrestling since it's unlike any other sport currently televised. The thought put behind orchestrating wacky storylines and building hype for months on end is incredible and something that I enjoy keeping track of. Particularly, I like the shenanigans Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio get up to as part of The Judgment Day, as well as watching what up-and-coming talents have to offer over at NXT.

During my time at ES, I have been doing live coverage of WWE SmackDown which currently hosts our ?Head of the Table? Roman Reigns. Prior to this, I worked as a reporter for a national newspaper, covering investigative stories on education, space, science, and tech. While these might seem worlds apart, I still enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of stories here at ES, picking apart details and finding out facts about wrestlers that most would overlook. In my spare time, I enjoy delving into my hobbies: writing, drawing, or just goofing off with my cat.

strThe newest rivalry fans are witnessing right now in the wrestling world is the one between CM Punk and Judgment Day’s Dominik Mysterio. While The Straight Edge Superstar recently shared his desire to punk Dom Dom in his face, Mysterio had a befitting reply for Punk. DOMINIK MYSTERIO EGGS CM PUNK ON Ahead of their fight at the upcoming WWE House show, Mysterio decided to take shots at Punk after he expressed his desire to punch Mysterio in the face. Responding to the clip by Fightful Wrestling, the 26-year-old star shared a gif on his X (formerly Twitter) account that shows a botched punch by CM Punk. In the old clip from AEW, Punk is seen jumping from the turnbuckle to deliver a powerful punch. However, he trips over the ropes and delivers a botched punch. The clip shared by Fighful Wrestling is from Punk’s recent appearance at the CFFC as a guest commentator. In the clip, the 45-year-old star told his fans to come over to Kia Forum on December 30 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-most-fans-will-miss-cm-punks-first-wwe-match-since-returning-heres-why/] to watch him beat Dominik Mysterio. He even stated that he was waiting to punch him since he was 8 years old. Now that Mysterio is of legal age, he is not going to hold back. Why did CM Punk mention he wanted to punch Mysterio since he was 8 years old? The story started with an in-ring segment back in 2010. It was a regular episode of Friday Night SmackDown and a special one for the Mysterio family. It was the birthday of Rey Mystrio’s daughter Aalyah. The crowd along with the Mysterio family was signing as they wished the then-teenager a happy birthday. However, the fun got over soon, when CM Punk and his crew interrupted the celebration. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/CM-Punk-5-7.jpg] As the arena went silent, Punk started singing “Happy Birthday to You Aalyah” in a segment that was both nightmarish for few and interesting for many fans. Punk even tried to challenge Mysterio for a fight then and there. However, the Lucha Libre decided not to engage in a fight as it was his daughter’s birthday. A fight was set for WrestleMania 26 and Mysterio won the match.

Apart from that, Punk has been a dominant force wherever he goes and Judgment Day might be scarred that they will lose the reigns of Monday Night Raw from their hands. Needless to say, this might be the start of a long rivalry between the two. Who do you think will win this fight?

Dominik Mysterio takes a dirty shot at CM Punk, commencing the war of the words between the two ahead of their fight on December 30.

For me pro wrestling has two things that I like the most, storytelling and
fighting. Let?s just say movies are failing to keep me entertained in those
departments. I grew up watching WWF and not WWE and any hardcore fan will agree
that the two are not the same, but I love both iterations. I have gone from
watching ?Stone Cold? Steve Austin beat up his boss to Daniel Bryan fighting
against The Authority. At EssentiallySports let?s just say I write about the men
in tights who make money for men in suits. I especially like to write
speculative pieces as it is more fun to predict the ever "unpredictable"
storylines of WWE. Apart from wrestling, I like to scribble a couple of poems at
times and read something to keep my mind fertile. You can always catch me

<h2 style="text-align: center">CM Punk: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
Phillip Jack Brooks, better known as CM Punk, is an American professional wrestler currently signed with WWE and outcasted from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He is a retired mixed martial artist who competed in the UFC. Punk also works as a commentator for Cage Of Fury fighting championships, a comic book writer, and an actor.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What is the net worth of CM Punk?</b></h2>
As per CelebrityNetWorth, the net worth of CM Punk as of January 2024 is estimated to be $12 million. Punk is paid handsomely as a part of the WWE. Before that, he was the highest-earning ECW star in 2006-2008, earning around $200,000 to $300,000 annually. In WWE, he was earning $1 million annually in 2011.

The figure went up to 1.3 million in 2012-13. It touched $1.7 million in 2013-14. He was the cover star of the WWE 2K13 video game, which earned him another $200,000. CM Punk had earned enough brand value to earn millions wherever he went after he left WWE. That's why UFC was ready to pay him well, even as a novice. His first fight got him $500,000.

He got more out of the PPV revenue, which pushed his earnings past the one million mark. He was paid $503,500 for his second appearance. An additional $500,000 was given as an appearance fee and $3500 as a fight incentive. Punk's salary following his comeback to WWE after over nine years is kept under wraps as of now.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>All we need to know about the family of CM Punk?</b></h2>
Not much is known about CM Punk's family as, despite ruling headlines owing to his successful professional career, he has managed to keep his personal life away from the limelight. The only fact known about his parents is that his father was an architectural engineer while his mother was a homemaker. The former mixed martial artist also has five siblings.

His elder brother goes by the name Mike Brooks, while he also has a younger sister named Chaleen Lee Creeks. Meanwhile, no information is available about his other three siblings. Speaking of his love life, Punk married the American author AJ Lee, also known as April Jeanette Mendez, in June 2014.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>CM Punk’s record in professional wrestling</b></h2>
Of the many hats he has donned, Punk is most famous for his professional wrestling stint that saw him revolutionize the WWE. Starting with Ring of Honor, Punk made his WWE debut in 2005. After being a mid-card wrestler for years, his rivalry with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a> finally pushed him to the stratosphere.

He was the perfect anti-hero to the larger-than-life superhero persona of Cena. However, fans were firmly behind Punk and booed the face of the company to support the Straight Edge Superstar. His breakout moment was the famous pipe-bomb promo where he created an illusion of going off script and bashing Vince McMahon and his handling of the promotion. It did not go unnoticed as Punk began a record-breaking reign with the WWE title, which saw him remain champion for 434 days.

[caption id="attachment_1815695" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1815695 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0013342344h.jpg" alt="CM Punk" width="1920" height="1344" /> Credits: Imago[/caption]

That was not the only record he held in the company. Punk is a 3-time World Heavyweight Champion (WWE), 2-time WWE Champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, World Tag Team Champion, and the winner of the 2008 and 2009 Money In The Bank ladder matches. CM Punk is the 7th longest-reigning WWE Champion of all time.

However, after all this, he had a tragic fallout with WWE over the alleged mishandling of his health and inappropriate booking. This saw Punk leaving professional wrestling for good and joining the UFC as a mixed martial artist.

Despite bringing a lot of attention, his MMA career in the Welterweight division was a flop, with him losing both his fights. After being away from WWE for over nine years, Punk made an unexpected comeback in November 2023.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>All about CM Punk’s charity</b></h2>
CM Punk has been a quite charitable superstar throughout his career. He has fulfilled many wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, as well as a similar charity called the Kids Wish Network.

Punk also joined Kerry Wood's Strike Zone Bowling Tournament, a tournament that sets out to improve the health of Chicago children through healthy eating and enhanced education. He has also painted customized chairs for the Chicago Cubs to be auctioned off, and in 2015, he auctioned off his first car, a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo to charity.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>CM Punk’s theme song</b></h2>
CM Punk has 'Cult of Personality' as his theme song. The song came out in 1988 and formed a part of the debut album 'Vivid' by the American rock band Living Colour.
