Since CM Punk‘s return at Survivor Series, he has been a constant presence on WWE programming, addressing the fans and making constant backstage appearances with other superstars. The backstage interactions generate a lot of buzz online. In fact, fans got to see Punk meet the notorious faction on top of WWE right now, the Judgment Day.

On the latest episode of Raw, the 45-year-old spoke with the stable. Punk hilariously asked the trio where Rhea Ripley was, enraging Damian Priest. The latter welcomed him to Raw by referring to it as their show. Senor Money In The Bank also warned Punk to watch out for his back, alluding to the fact that he will always lurk around if he wins the World Title.

While some fans just enjoyed the altercation between them, others noticed a sense of awkwardness on Dominik Mysterio‘s face. The 45-year-old and Rey Mysterio have had some history in which Dom was heavily involved. So seeing him and Punk on the same screen after all these years surely felt like nostalgia for them. Here are some top reactions from the fans:

After hearing the Straight Edge Superstar ask about Rhea, many fans made hilarious comments about how everybody wanted to meet Mami. Some involved Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, and joked about how she would not like that her husband was looking for Rhea. The WWE Universe believes that this conversation was not friendly at all and will lead to a potential feud.
