including coming in second

Initially, Punk joined Ring of Honor (ROH) as a crowd favorite,[4] but quickly became a villain in a feud with Raven that featured numerous variants of no disqualification matches.[17] Their rivalry lasted most of 2003 and was considered one of ROH's top feuds of the year,[18] and was based around Punk's straight-edge lifestyle, with him likening Raven to his alcoholic father.[19] Their rivalry was settled at The Conclusion in November 2003, where Punk defeated Raven in a Steel Cage match.[17] At the same time, Punk joined the wrestling promotion NWA Total Nonstop Action (TNA), in which he was paired with Julio Dinero as members of Raven's TNA alliance The Gathering.[4]

Punk started climbing the ranks of ROH, including coming in second at the Second Anniversary Show during the tournament to crown the first ROH Pure Champion, losing to A.J. Styles in the finals[17] and winning the ROH Tag Team Championship twice with Colt Cabana as the Second City Saints. Both times Punk and Cabana defeated the Briscoe Brothers to win the championship.[20] Circa October 2003, Punk was hired as the first head trainer of the Ring of Honor wrestling school,[4][21] having previously been a trainer for the Steel Domain[4] and Primetime Wrestling.[22]
