Dominik Mysterio Responds To CM Punk, ‘Nothing Kills The Business More Than Someone Thinking They Can Fight In The UFC And They Get Their Ass Beat’

During the press tour for WWE Unreal, CM Punk took a shot at Dominik Mysterio by saying, “One time, they wanted [Rhea Ripley] to be in a relationship with Dominik Mysterio. Who is going to believe that? ‘Hey everybody, here is a Greek goddess and she is with this fucking nerd.’ Come on. That exposes the business more than anything we’re going to do on Netflix. Who is going to believe that shit? Dominik Mysterio, little bitch.”

Speaking to Shakiel Mahjouri of Shak Wrestling, Dominik offered up his response.

“Nothing kills the business more than someone thinking they are actually good enough to go fight in the UFC and get their ass beat not once but twice. If you want to talk about ‘nothing kills the business more,’ just go watch CM Punk’s fights in the UFC. You tell me what kills the business more. Let me call my friend Mickey Gall real quick and see what he thinks,” said Dominik.

Punk lost UFC fights to Gall and Mike Jackson, though the latter was overturned to a no contest after Jackson failed a drug for marijuana.

Dominik is set to defend his WWE Intercontinental Title against AJ Styles at WWE SummerSlam while Punk will challenge Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Title.
