STRAIGHT EDGE SOCIETY: CM PUNK, LUKE GALLOWS & SERENA
Last Week: 15
This Week: 15
Luke Gallows entered the ring as The Straight Edge Society’s representative this week and picked up a big win over Rey Mysterio on Friday night.
WrestleMania XXVI Match Preview
CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio
In an explosive WrestleMania showdown, the biggest heart in WWE will risk every part of himself against the collective forces of everything he despises as Rey Mysterio takes on CM Punk. And if The Ultimate Underdog loses the extremely personal match, he must join The Straight Edge Society.
The paths of Mysterio and Punk have collided with catastrophic fallout in recent weeks. Punk, along with his faithful disciples Luke Gallows and Serena, assaulted Mysterio with brutal back-to-back attacks on SmackDown. Mysterio cost The Second City Saint two huge opportunities, pinning The Straight Edge Superstar at WWE Elimination Chamber and costing him his WrestleMania Money in the Bank Qualifying Match against Shelton Benjamin.
Punk “crossed the line” when The Master of the 619 brought his family to SmackDown to celebrate his daughter’s birthday. As the WWE Universe joyfully sang “Happy Birthday” to the elated 9-year-old, The Straight Edge Society crashed the party. Punk challenged Mysterio to a match right then and there, as well as one at WrestleMania. Though he taunted Mysterio and his family mercilessly, the masked Superstar refused to give an answer or to fight while his loved ones were in the ring. Later that night, Mysterio attacked Punk, igniting an all-out brawl that spilled into the crowd.

Rey Mysterio accepted CM Punk’s WrestleMania challenge
After being tormented in front of his family last week, Rey Mysterio eagerly accepted CM Punk’s challenge for a WrestleMania match. However, The Master of the 619 wanted their differences to be settled in a Street Fight! Not willing to give in to Mysterio’s request so easily, Punk demanded that he beat Luke Gallows in a match on SmackDown – or their WrestleMania encounter would be a straight up match. Piling on the stipulations, CM Punk declared that if Rey touches him before WrestleMania, their match is off. And if The Ultimate Underdog loses at WrestleMania, he must take the Straight Edge pledge!
Luke Gallows def. Rey Mysterio
After stinging Luke Gallows with the 619, Rey Mysterio appeared to be on his way to victory – and a Street Fight with CM Punk. However, as Mysterio set up on the top ropes, Serena grabbed his feet, causing him to fall to the canvas. Gallows capitalized, covering Mysterio for the win. Frustrated with the outcome, Mysterio launched into an uncharacteristic vicious attack on Gallows outside of the ring. The loss means Mysterio will now face CM Punk in straight up match at WrestleMania.

Ten underrated moments in WWE history have been featured in WWE.com’s Unsung WrestleMania Moments. CM Punk was mentioned in Randy Orton’s Moment. There is also one digital of the event.
WrestleMania 23: Four times the RKO
The WWE Universe often buzzes about Edge’s calamitous, ladder-top Spear to a dangling Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania X-Seven. Rightfully so. But this moment met a close rival six years later in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Finlay. Matt Hardy. Mr. Kennedy. All fell victim to a quickstrike RKO from Randy Orton and each left crumpled on the ring mat beneath the coveted briefcase overhead.
Accentuating the wild torrent of RKOs, The Viper ultimately met CM Punk atop the rungs high above the ring, coiled his grip around The Straight Edge Superstar and leapt off the bout’s fourth and most impactful executions of Orton’s signature weapon – one truly memorable sight on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

CM Punk & Darren Young def. Matt Hardy & Justin Gabriel
While CM Punk hasn’t completely convinced his Rookie, Darren Young, to drop his South Beach party boy habits and convert to the Straight Edge lifestyle, he has guided him to victory more than once. On WWE NXT this week, Young earned a tag team victory when he pinned Pro Matt Hardy after Punk hit him with the Go To Sleep when the official wasn’t watching. With the Straight Edge Superstar on his side, Young has been unstoppable, and has increased his record to 2-1. But will Young change his life and join the Straight Edge Society? That may not happen this week, as after Young’s win, he was attacked by SES member Luke Gallows, who hit the Gallows Pole on Young, as well as Hardy and his Rookie, Justin Gabriel, as a sign of solidarity as Punk and Serena smugly looked on. As for Gabriel, his once-perfect record dropped to 2-1.

The Straight Edge Society torments Rey Mysterio’s family
As the WWE Universe celebrated the ninth birthday of Rey Mysterio’s daughter with the entire Mysterio family present, The Straight Edge Society interrupted. The Master of the 619 voiced no answer when The Second City Saint challenged him to a WrestleMania Match, nor would Mysterio battle him in front of his family. Punk responded by verbally tormenting Mysterio’s wife and children. Despite his continued taunts, Mysterio escorted his family away without dishing out a single blow.
Kane def. Luke Gallows by disqualification
Just when it looked as if The Big Red Monster would overcome Gallows, CM Punk attacked, causing his disciple to be disqualified before delivering a post-match GTS on Kane. But, before he could celebrate, Rey Mysterio returned to the ring, inciting a brawl with Punk that spilled over into the crowd.
