In this reaction video, CM Punk reacts to his retro 2003 Ring of Honor entrance recreated inside WWE 2K26, and the nostalgia hits HARD. From the long blonde hair to the iconic black jacket with “XXX” on the back, this throwback entrance perfectly captures Punk’s early ROH era. As “Miseria Cantare” by AFI from the legendary album Sing The Sorrow plays, you can see the emotion on Punk’s face as he relives one of the most defining periods of his wrestling career.
The attention to detail in WWE 2K26’s creation suite brings the early 2000s independent wrestling scene back to life. For longtime fans of Ring of Honor, this is a time capsule moment. CM Punk’s 2003 entrance represents the beginning of what would become one of the most influential careers in professional wrestling history. Watching him react to his younger self — the look, the music, the aura — is a powerful moment for both Punk and the fans who followed his journey from ROH to global superstardom.
If you’re a fan of CM Punk, Ring of Honor, classic ROH entrances, WWE 2K gameplay, wrestling nostalgia, or early 2000s wrestling culture, this is a must-watch. The recreation is shockingly accurate, and Punk’s genuine reaction makes this clip even more special.
