CM Punk and Rey Mysterio are in the last stages of their respective legendary careers, and the two WWE greats want to face each other in the ring one last time. Punk declared right away that he would be keen to step in the ring with the WWE Hall of Famer, while Mysterio spoke glowingly about Punk and declared his interest too. "Every time I've got to share the ring with this man [Punk], whether we're on the same side or we're on the opposite, it's been a pleasure. Punk and Mysterio have yet to face each other since the former returned to WWE in 2023, although they have teamed together once on television. Punk and Mysterio share a close friendship, with Punk previously naming Mysterio as one of the stars he would like to face.
