20 Scariest Wrestling Moments Ever

10. CM Punk Sings Happy Birthday To Rey Mysterio's Daughter

After cranking his actual straight-edge lifestyle up to an obnoxious gimmick during a feud with Jeff Hardy, CM Punk became a hated heel on WWE's SmackDown brand. Still, it was a surprising shift when he recruited followers into his new Straight-Edge Society and morphed into a preaching, Manson-esque messiah of sorts.

All of a sudden, Punk seemed downright deranged. Punk's lunacy hit a disturbing apex during a SmackDown celebration in March of 2010, when Rey Mysterio led the live crowd in singing happy birthday to his nine-year-old daughter, Aaliyah. Punk and the rest of the Straight-Edge Society interrupted the song, and Punk chillingly finished it by himself, singing right at the terrified young girl. He proceeded to launch into a tirade on Mysterio, but nothing could match the creepiness of Punk getting face-to-face with a crying Aaliyah.
