Top five current WWE Superstars who have defeated CM Punk

After a prolonged hiatus, the enigmatic CM Punk has finally stepped back into the squared circle, marking his return to WWE. The Straight Edge Superstar’s absence from the WWE dates back to the Royal Rumble in 2014, a night where he entered at number one, showcased his prowess for 49 minutes, only to be ousted by the formidable Kane.

In a serendipitous twist of fate, Punk’s comeback match pitted him against none other than Seth Rollins, who, like Punk, endured nearly an hour in the Royal Rumble melee. As Punk seeks redemption and resurgence, it’s intriguing to explore the roster of contemporary WWE Superstars who have, at various points, conquered the challenge presented by the iconic CM Punk.

So, here are the top five current WWE Superstars who have defeated CM Punk:

5. Rey Mysterio

The storied history between CM Punk and Rey Mysterio dates back to their indie days, where they first crossed paths in a triple-threat match alongside the late Eddie Guerrero for IWA MidSouth Wrestling in 2002. Fast forward to 2006, and Punk and Mysterio found themselves in a renewed rivalry on the main roster, exchanging wins during the former’s tenure as the leader of the Straight Edge Society in 2009-10.

4. John Cena

A clash between John Cena and CM Punk was always appointment viewing. From their inaugural encounter in 2009 to their final showdown in 2013, each match between these two stalwarts showcased an intensity that defined an era. Their riveting rivalry not only headlined pay-per-views but also graced free television, leaving an indelible mark on the annals of WWE history.

3. Brock Lesnar

While Brock Lesnar currently enjoys a hiatus from WWE action, his clash with Punk in mid-2013 remains etched in the memories of fans. Following Paul Heyman’s betrayal, Punk and Lesnar engaged in a feud that culminated in a SummerSlam bout, widely regarded as one of the pinnacle performances in both their illustrious careers.

2. Randy Orton

The Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 marked the epic return of both Randy Orton and CM Punk to WWE. Orton, instrumental in Team Cody Rhodes’ victory, has etched his name among the few current WWE Superstars with multiple wins over Punk. Notably, his mid-air RKO at WrestleMania 27 and the triumph in their Last Man Standing Match at Extreme Rules 2011 underscore the Viper’s dominance.

1. Roman Reigns

As the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns stands as the embodiment of WWE’s present and future. Holding the Universal Title for an unprecedented three years, Reigns has vanquished every challenger. His singular distinction within The Shield is a singles victory over CM Punk on the January 6, 2013, episode of WWE RAW. The question lingers: Will 2024 witness a resurfacing feud between the Tribal Chief and the Voice of the Voiceless?

In exploring these triumphs, we unravel the layers of WWE’s dynamic landscape, witnessing the evolution of Punk’s adversaries as they etch their names in the ongoing saga of professional wrestling.
