CM Punk and Hulk Hogan have not seen or spoken to each other in ages, and they have never appeared on WWE television together. However, every single member of the WWE Universe and more importantly, every single wrestling fan knows that Hulk Hogan and CM Punk have been at odds with each other recently due to Hulk Hogan’s NHL hockey playoff comments. CM Punk, a rabid and loyal Chicago Black Hawks fan, has not taken kindly to Hulk Hogan’s comments about his team. Hulk Hogan, in turn, has called CM Punk a ‘puck’ and gone out of his way to fire back at his criticisms in favor of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
CM Punk has shocked the world and WWE fans everywhere time and time again with his words. He shocked the world and WWE fans everywhere once again when he left the WWE after the 2014 Royal Rumble. And he shook the the WWE Universe and the Mixed Martial Arts fanbase as well as the entire sports world when he signed with the UFC! Sadly, this means it is extremely unlikely that we ever see CM Punk in a WWE ring again. This also means it’s extremely likely that we’ve seen our last CM Punk Mattel WWE wrestling action figure. Unless he is produced as a UFC action figure, your chances to get a CM Punk figure lie with these newly released Mattel WWE versions of the Straight Edge Superstar. With CM Punk’s popularity now only set to rise, these are going to become even more difficult to find as time goes on.
Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive ECW CM Punk!
The Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive appeared only at Ringside Collectibles and commemorated the beginning of CM Punk’s WWE career, wrestling for the ECW brand. Complete with ECW microphone, ECW Championship and gear accurate to the time frame, this smiling CM Punk recalls ‘happier times’ with the WWE. It also shows a CM Punk that is ready to fight.
CM Punk vs. The Undertaker – Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25!
The Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25 featured the attempt of the Best in the World to break apart the WrestleMania streak of The Phenom himself, The Undertaker. While CM Punk was unsuccessful in his attempt, the WWE Universe saw a grouchy, angry CM Punk that was capable of making a cerebral impact on such a massive Superstar like the Undertaker. After stealing the show at WrestleMania 29, WWE fans knew that CM Punk would never be forgotten and they have the perfect Mattel WWE Battle Pack to commemorate that.
Mattel WWE SummerSlam 2014 Series CM Punk!
CM Punk has paid tribute to the all time greats before, including Macho Man Randy Savage, but at SummerSlam he paid tribute to the Excellence of Execution with gear in the style of Bret Hart. This often requested and demanded Mattel WWE figure had fans finally feeling satisfied with a ‘Bret Hart’ version of CM Punk in what will likely be a crown jewel of the ongoing SummerSlam Heritage Series.
Mattel WWE Elite 29 CM Punk!
In what may be the final CM Punk Mattel WWE Elite appearance, Mattel WWE Elite 29 CM Punk includes a version of the weary, war torn and grizzled veteran. He has been to hell and back and still sees a future for himself beating whoever stands in front of him. With a removable fabric hoodie and Elite articulation, this CM Punk offers a version that hits his final appearances in the WWE right on the head. The Mattel WWE Elite 29 CM Punk proves that during his time in WWE, CM Punk truly was a butt-kicker.
Mattel WWE Battle Packs 29 wrestling action figures!
The Mattel WWE Battle Packs 29 set features some of the hottest tag teams and rivalries in the WWE today! With newcomers, close siblings and deep rooted grudge matches, the variety is clear this time around. Mattel WWE Battle Packs 29 includes:
Los Matadores
Cody Rhodes & Goldust (The Rhodes Brothers)
CM Punk vs. Ryback
Since debuting in the WWE, Los Matadores have brought a stark contrast to the seriousness of the tag team division’s mainstays like The Shield and the Wyatt Family. With wildly exaggerated movesets and eccentric bull fighter outfits, they have become fan favorites among the WWE’s younger generation of fans. With their bull El Torito accompanying them to the ring, their matches have proved entertaining. The Mattel WWE Los Matadores figures will likely feature their pink face masks and current outfits. El Torito is also rumored to be released in an upcoming Mattel WWE Series set, so fans who love Los Matadores will be able to re-create their unique brand of silly action.
Cody Rhodes and Goldust enjoyed a renaissance as they teamed together and captured the WWE Tag Team Championships. Brothers who have long wanted to work together but have been unable to, Cody Rhodes and Goldust took advantage of the opportunity they were given and had a successful run. However, they have since lost their championship glory and Cody has grown increasingly frustrated with his brother. While they haven’t quite moved on from each other, the outlook doesn’t look great. Maybe if they saw their triumphant team-up immortalized in Mattel WWE wrestling figure form they would be more apt to work out their differences.
CM Punk has not been seen nor heard from in the WWE since the 2014 Royal Rumble. Ryback, who once feuded heavily with CM Punk, has moved on to specialize in tag team wrestling with Curtis Axel, but at one point these two monstrous WWE Superstar personalities were at each others throats. Both former ‘Paul Heyman guys,’ this Mattel WWE Battle Pack will likely commemorate their short feud over the services of a manager they both thought they could trust. Though neither ended up benefiting from Paul Heyman in the end, they managed to do their best to outperform each other and it may have been one of CM Punk’s last great endeavors in the WWE.
The Mattel WWE Elite 29 lineup has been revealed, and it is filled with surprises that WWE wrestling figure fans were not quite expecting. With veterans and newcomers, the lineup is fresh and will include:
CM Punk
Goldust
Damien Sandow
Erick Rowan
Luke Harper
Andre The Giant
CM Punk has made his way into another Mattel WWE wrestling figure set, this time an Elite set, despite leaving WWE for good. Unsure of the possibly look at this point, wrestling figure fans can only speculate as to whether or not this will be a good send-off for the Best in the World.
Providing intellect to the masses in the form of teachings and musings, Damien Sandow brings his unique brand of intelligence to another Mattel WWE set. Fans may expect a Money in the Bank briefcase accessory or a possible removable t-shirt of Damien Sandow’s theory of evolution.
Luke Harper, the gigantic and dirty-shirted behemoth of the Wyatt Family, sports a beard before sporting beards were a thing in the WWE and wears flexible blue jeans. He is ready to attack and with Elite articulation, he will be even more ready to dish out the Wyatt’s brand of punishment.
Erick Rowan is also featured in Elite 29, complete with his bright red hair and hopefully a removable sheep mask accessory, which would delight fans of both WWE figures and the Wyatt Family. He currently wrestles with a jumpsuit attire, so it remains to be seen how Mattel will produce him, either similar to The Shield with molded gear or with a cloth set.
Goldust’s inclusion surprised and excited many Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans as he hasn’t enjoyed an Elite figure since Elite 6. The question remains, however, of whether or not this treatment will be a modern day or classic look at Goldust, who has sported so many elaborate and different designs over the years. Fans will nonetheless be happy to get ‘Goldie’ back amongst their collection.
Andre The Giant, while featured in a short lived Matty Collector internet exclusive Mattel WWE Legends run, remains one of the most sought after and legendary WWE Superstars of all time. With his massive size and actually incredible wrestling ability, fans will continue to speak of him in ways that haven’t been matched. Sporting different hairstyles and different wrestling attires over his career, it remains a mystery as to what this Andre the Giant will look like, but it will be hard for Mattel to move away from his iconic WrestleMania III look.

Make way for the hometown heroes coming back where they belong, the Mattel WWE Series 40 wrestling action figures have been announced! With flavor based on a famous Superstar’s love for where they come from, the lineup features a vast array of talent. Mattel WWE Series 40 includes:
CM Punk (Chicago)
Alberto Del Rio (Mexico)
Rey Mysterio (San Diego)
Great Khali (India)
Zack Ryder (Long Island)
Edge (Toronto)
CM Punk is missing and no one knows if, or when, he will ever return to the WWE so his release in a Mattel WWE set is surprising. It may be one of his last Mattel WWE action figures ever, so it’s great to keep an eye out as to what attire it could feature, especially in tribute to his hometown (and the place he probably is right now) Chicago.
Alberto Del Rio is an aristocrat from Mexico who is rich and powerful and the people from his home country know it. His figure will no doubt feature a smile with how happy he is to carry that type of wealth, or a spoiled, angry demeanor fit for a rich jerk.
Rey Mysterio has long claimed San Diego as his home, dialing up the 619 as a move and featuring it on all of his ring attire. He will be masked, for sure, but it is a curiosity as to which of his many colorful looks represents San Diego best.
One of the most recognizable faces in all of India, The Great Khali is the Punjabi Playboy both at home and abroad. With WWE, he has worn black ring pants and maroon ring pants, the latter of which he has worn for years and will most likely be featured in here.
Zack Ryder loves Long Island and Long Island loves Zack Ryder, as is proof any time he comes into town with the WWE. Getting more praise at times than The Rock while in New York, Zack Ryder holds up the LI on the way to the ring regularly and proves he is a hometown hero.
A career cut too short, but luckily with the health of the Rated R Superstar still in tact, no city loves a Superstar like Toronto loves Edge. Even with John Cena at his heels, Edge is always massively cheered by the Toronto fans and always was during his storied career. If only it could have lasted just a little longer!

The Mattel WWE Battle Packs 29 lineup has been revealed, much to the excitement of wrestling action figure fans. Including new releases and a possible now-missing old favorite, this set is going to be hotly anticipated. It includes:
Los Matadores (Diego & Fernando) with 2 hat accessories
Ryback & CM Punk with table accessory
Cody Rhodes & Goldust with two Tag Team Championship accessories
Since making their way onto the tag team scene of WWE, Los Matadores have become fan favorites as they are accompanied by El Torito and wear flamboyant, colorful outfits. With wrestling skill to back up their antics, wrestling figure fans will likely pit them against their other established tag teams.
Although CM Punk has disappeared from the WWE radar, the now disgruntled Ryback still attempts to make as much of an impact as possible. With a table accessory, this Battle Pack could be a wrestling figure fan’s way to send CM Punk out the door correctly, with a massive loss to the machine, Ryback. Or, the Battle Pack could set the stage for CM Punk’s triumphant return.
Cody Rhodes and Goldust are living out their dream of being siblings working together and taking the WWE by storm. This Battle Pack will likely commemorate their hugely successful WWE Tag Team Championship run, capturing the titles from The Shield and defending them against worthy suitors. An updated Mattel WWE Goldust figure has been sought after by fans so they likely won’t be disappointed!
