Heel WWE Star Wants First-Time-Ever Match With CM Punk

CM Punk is on top as the new World Heavyweight Champion, and things are heating up fast.

On November 1, 2025, at WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event XLI, Punk battled Jey Uso in a match and finally pinned him after hitting his signature move, the Go To Sleep, twice. Just two days later, on the November 3rd episode of Monday Night Raw, Punk was far from enjoying a smooth ride as the top guy.

The Vision crashed Punk’s championship acceptance speech. On the same night, after some back-and-forth chaos, things blew up with Logan Paul turning on Punk to side with The Vision. But it looks like The Vision is not the only one after CM Punk. Heel WWE star Grayson Waller also wants a piece of The Best in the World.

Grayson Waller Wants To Face CM Punk

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on the Insight podcast, Grayson Waller admitted he’s been itching to face CM Punk in the ring. He’s never stepped foot inside the squared circle against the reigning World Heavyweight Champion before.

“I’ve said it a few times now. I’m gonna keep saying it. Right now, I want Punk. I want Punk so bad, dude. Because, as I said, as a ROH guy, I’ve watched Punk for a long time. I love the stuff he did in Ring of Honor. I loved when he signed his WWE contract on the Ring of Honor Championship, that’s so good. And when he came back, because I said some really mean things about Punk when he wasn’t here.

I remember I took a super kick from Jey Uso, and it was the day that Punk left his last job. I took a super kick, and I put a photo online of me icing my jaw with a Pepsi can, which was just like, sometimes I like to have fun online and cause some chaos. So when he was coming over here, I was like, This is gonna be fun. What Punk are we gonna get? And then we’ve got this real soft Punk. So I want to find out who the real Punk is.”
