CM Punk has opened up about his return to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 and what went through his mind before he came out in the arena.
After months of speculation and rumors, The Straight Edge Superstar shocked the world when his "Cult of Personality" theme song hit, leading to him appearing on WWE TV for the first time in nearly a decade. The entire wrestling community was buzzing that night, and many fans were excited to see him return to the Stamford-based company.
During his appearance on the WWE 2024 Preview Special show, CM Punk reflected on his return by stating that it was a magical moment, but he still felt a little nervous and concerned.
"Everything happened that day so fast... I was trying to drive to the Allstate Arena and let everybody that [sic] deserved to know that was in my orbit what was about to happen. I've been texting my sisters because nobody knew. That's how you get things done in this business. You keep things close to the vest, you don't leak stuff, and that's where the magic happens, and it was a magical moment. There was [sic] so many things going through my head. The nerves, people I haven't seen in ten years. I had questions, concerns, maybe even worries, and that was all just dispelled like the instant that song hit," said Punk. [0:46-1:36]
