WWE has a knack for delivering surprises, and CM Punk’s return at last year’s Survivor Series was one of the most shocking in recent memory. But what happened backstage just before Punk’s iconic entrance? A new video sheds light on an interaction between him and Triple H.
The Cult of Personality, known for his controversial moments, has remained a charming figure in pro wrestling due to his charisma and talent.
Despite some bumps in his AEW tenure, Punk’s reception at Survivor Series underscored his enduring popularity.
During the WrestleMania XL Night Two pre-show, a brief video surfaced showing Triple H detailing the moments leading up to Punk’s return.
The WWE CCO warmly greeted The Second City Saint, emphasizing the careful planning behind the comeback.
In the midst of WrestleMania excitement, veteran wrestler Vince Russo weighed in on Punk’s role.
While Punk’s arm injury prevents in-ring action, Russo advocated for him to serve as a guest referee rather than just providing commentary.
“Isn’t it obvious that Punk should be the guest referee, bro? That’s the freaking story!”
Russo exclaimed on The Brand podcast.
He argued that Punk’s presence at the commentary booth adds little to ticket sales compared to his potential impact as a referee.
“Send out [Adam] Pearce; make him the freaking guest referee… The fact that he’s a commentator, who gives a s**t? Is that gonna sell one more buy, bro, because CM Punk is commentating on the match?”
Russo questioned.
With speculation rife about Punk’s involvement at WrestleMania XL, fans eagerly anticipate what surprises the event holds, especially considering Punk’s ability to charm audiences in unexpected ways.
