Dominik Mysterio isn’t a fan of CM Punk.
Mysterio and Punk have a lengthy history, which has led to the former resenting the latter. Long before Mysterio facing off against Punk in his first WWE in over a decade, the two were involved in a 2010 storyline when Punk feuded with Dominik’s father, Rey Mysterio.During that period, Punk confronted Rey Mysterio and his family, including a young Dominik.
In a recent interview with Sportskeeda, Dirty Dom spoke about that rivalry and how he still hates Punk because of it.
“I hate CM Punk. I hate CM Punk. He’s old. He disappeared for what, 30 years, came back and he’s now 60 and still wrestling. He tortured me when I was a kid. I was 12 years old and he was probably 45 at the time, maybe 50. I don’t like CM Punk. He traumatized me as a kid. Who does that to a 12-year-old?”
