UPDATE: CM Punk says he was happy to see Kevin Owens, Steve Austin, and Cody Rhodes get their moments at WrestleMania 38 night one. Punk posted to Twitter on Friday night to clarify any misconception that he might not be happy for the three, and noting that he’s happy for himself and his AEW colleagues as well:
“Happy for Kev. Happy for Cody. VERY happy for Steve. Also happy for Sting. Happy for myself. Happy for Bryan. This isn’t controversial. F**k Eddie Kingston. Oh, happy for Edge!”

ORIGINAL: CM Punk always wanted to face Steve Austin in a match at WrestleMania, and he responded on Twitter to a user who said Kevin Owens got his “unrealized dream” last night. As noted, Owens faced Austin in the main event of night one in a match that stemmed out of the KO Show segment.
Following that segment, ThROH The Years Podcast co-host Trevor Dane wrote that Owens was “getting Punk’s unrealized dreams” and referenced a story from Owens where Punk made a comment about Owens (then Kevin Steen) wrestling in a T-Shirt and when Owens tried to joke about it to Punk, it came off very wrong to the point that Punk yelled at him over it.
Punk wrote in response to Dane:
“insane after all these years people still can watch that video, listen to Kev tell that story about Gabe making him wrestle in a shirt, and blame ME for Kev coming back into the locker room and yelling at ME. I’m super happy for him right now, but that doesn’t fit your narrative”
