CM Punk: Surprise comeback of WWE star at Survivor Series

CM Punk has made a surprising comeback to WWE after almost ten years away. The crowd erupted with excitement when his theme music played at the Survivor Series event in the United States on Saturday night.

He then joined AEW in 2021 but left earlier this year after the All Out pay-per-view event at Wembley Stadium. Fans and fellow wrestlers shared their shock and enthusiasm for his WWE return on social media. Randy Orton, who also made a comeback after a year-long absence due to injury, exchanged a smile with CM Punk. WWE star Cody Rhodes expressed his excitement and belief that CM Punk's hunger would contribute to the company's direction. Overall, CM Punk's return has caused a major stir in the wrestling world.
