CM Punk brought back his iconic theme song at WWE WrestleMania 42<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After weeks of build-up and rising tensions, CM Punk finally walked into WWE WrestleMania 42 to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns. His entrance began with a video package showing him sitting atop Allegiant Stadium. <\/p>\n

He then had a nostalgic throwback moment as AFI\u2019s \u201cMiseria Cantare\u201d<\/a> played, with a montage of pictures from his indie days and early WWE career flashing on the screen. Punk then walked to the stage as the song faded, and a few moments of silence passed before Punk\u2019s normal theme song, \u201cCult of Personality,\u201d cued up. <\/p>\n

CM Punk used \u201cMiseria Cantare\u201d as his theme song in Ring of Honor and also brought it back at AEW Revolution 2022 for his match against MJF. He had teased<\/a> bringing back the song for WrestleMania earlier this month, and the Best in the World followed through at the PLE tonight.<\/p>\n

Besides bringing back his ROH theme song, CM Punk also paid tribute to late WWE employees Kerwin Silfies<\/a>, Jim Shank<\/a>, and Davey Coates by having their names on his jacket. He also paid tribute to his late friend Bo Leuders and his dog Larry on his jacket.<\/p>\n

The main event is currently underway, and Roman Reigns seems to have the advantage after CM Punk got busted open.<\/p>\n
