Big surprise during WWE Survivor Series 2023 with CM Punk’s return to WWE at the end of the show.
A surprise that no one knew about and that remained secret until the last minute. CM Punk greeted the fans and the show ended with many questions about CM Punk.
WWE held a press conference with the media after the show and Triple H said he was happy to see CM Punk back in WWE:
“It’s one of those things that happened very quickly.” But we’re very excited about it. It’s been a long time since this was supposed to happen. Whether you like it or not, positive or negative, people are always talking about it. He is someone who stimulates discussions, which is difficult to avoid. And if our fans want it, if the WWE Universe wants it, then it’s fine for me. It happened very quickly, which is why it remained very secret. […]
It happened suddenly. A lot of time has passed, almost 10 years. If you’re the same person you were ten years ago, it’s a waste. Everyone changes, everyone grows. I grew up, he grew up. It’s a different company, I’ve changed too. As for CM Punk’s future, I can’t wait to find out what it will be. It will be an exciting ride for everyone and the WWE Universe. “I’m happy to see him home, he deserves it.”
Triple H makes it clear that no one at TKO pressured him into this decision. Punk’s contract signing was agreed upon between Triple H and Nick Khan last week.
The PWInsider took stock of the issue and specified that CM Punk had signed for a period of “several years”. We’ll have to watch the next developments to find out more about CM Punk’s future in WWE and his role.
