Never say never — CM Punk is back in WWE!
CM Punk’s status has long been speculated on since he was fired from AEW in September. That speculation has now been answered because Punk is back in WWE for the first time since 2014.
Punk appeared at the conclusion of the Men’s WarGames main event at Survivor Series in Chicago. After Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn and Seth Rollins celebrated their win, Punk’s music cued up and he entered the arena.
Lightning in a bottle
Triple H commented on CM Punk’s return during the post-show PLE press conference. Triple H said Punk’s return came together very quickly, but he’s excited to have him back in the fold.
“So this is one of those things — a lightning in a bottle moment that came together quickly. But we are incredibly excited about it. It’s been a long time and in some ways it’s been a long time coming. You could say this about CM Punk; love him, hate him, positive, negative, whatever you want to say, people talk about him all the time. He is a magnet for that,” Triple H said. “He is a conversation starter and it’s tough to look past that. And for me, if our fans want it, if the WWE Universe is excited to have it, then let’s go and we’ll figure out the rest of it from there.”
