The mask which CM Punk wore during his entrance last night
on Smackdown in Toronto was created by Jason Baker, the man
behind the masks of The Fiend and Uncle Howdy. Baker shared
a close relationship with Bray Wyatt and created most of the
makeup effects related to his character and later, the Wyatt
Sicks.
Baker, who heads up his own special makeup effects company
Callosum Studios, wrote that the hockey-inspired mask had
the actual paw prints of Larry, Punk’s beloved dog who
passed away in December 2025.
Punk survived Kevin Owens in the main event of the show and
walked away still the WWE champion, thanks to the
interference of Sami Zayn, who unloaded his frustrations on
both Owens and Punk.
In a recent interview, Owens said that his family was coming
in from Montreal to watch the match in person and
potentially win the WWE title, making him a favorite in
betting odds before the match.
