CM Punk shared a special artwork on the occasion of a female WWE star’s birthday.
Punk decided to do something creative for Lyra Valkyria’s birthday on October 23. The Best in the World posted a drawing he made of the Irish wrestler on his Instagram account to mark her 29th birthday. The post immediately went viral, with many appreciating the thoughtful gesture by Punk. His drawing showed he put effort into creating something personal for the WWE star who competes on Monday Night RAW alongside him.
However, since Punk is not an artist and is primarily a wrestler, the drawings weren’t that great; in fact, they barely resembled Valkyria. And the reference image that Punk used was also not her best shot, so this was just a way of him trolling along with wishing her. In the caption, Punk wrote,
@wwe Heard it was your birthday, @real_valkyria so I drew you…I hope you like it! I will always be a @real_valkyria fan!!! 💪ðŸ½ðŸ‘ðŸ¼
Valkyria responded positively to the birthday gift, showing her humor and appreciation for what Punk had done for her on her birthday. She wrote,
I have never looked better.”
Lyra Valkyria’s comment on CM Punk’s Instagram post
There’s an interesting backstory to this moment, as when Valkyria was 18 years old, she was a huge Punk fan. She actually loved him so much that she painted a picture of him, writing, ‘I will always be a CM Punk fan.’

Years later, both of them are working for WWE, with Punk creating artwork for her birthday. It’s kind of a full-circle moment for Valkyria in a way.
CM Punk Nearing Another World Title Opportunity
On the October 13 episode of WWE RAW, Punk beat LA Knight and Jey Uso in a triple-threat match to become the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, just two days after Seth Rollins became the 2025 Crown Jewel Champion. But due to his shoulder injury, which he suffered while delivering the coast-to-coast headbutt to Cody Rhodes, the Visionary had to relinquish the title, leaving Punk without an opponent.
On the October 20 episode of WWE RAW, Uso controversially won a 20-man Battle Royal to challenge Punk on Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1. If Punk emerges victorious, he can finally have a long title run in the company after over a decade, as Rollins, who vowed not to let Punk become the champion, is out of action. It would still be interesting to see how the Brons, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, react to the result of the match, or whether they interfere during the match.
