After nearly 10 years, CM Punk returned to WWE in-ring action at MSG.

WWE held their annual post-Christmas house show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Tuesday. In a match that took place fourth from the top, Punk defeated Dominik Mysterio with the GTS which, according to Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, went around 13 minutes.

After the match Punk cut a brief promo saying that while there was a small part of himself thinking this was about him, his return is actually about all of the fans.

“This isn’t me finishing my story,” Punk said at the end of the promo. “This is me getting started.”

Punk also had a simple message as he entered the backstage area following his match: “King’s back. Best in the world.”

This was Punk’s first match back in WWE since re-signing with the company during Survivor Series weekend. Punk is also advertised to face Mysterio at a house show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on December 30.
