Some backstage details have already emerged following the return of CM Punk tonight at WWE Survivor Series 2023.
Punk’s return had not leaked to any journalists or outlets beforehand and, despite fans hoping it would happen, was a genuine shock.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported the following:
CM Punk told at least one person close to him he had an hour long conversation with Triple H last week.
WWE staff, reps, creative had no idea. He walked through the back in plain site minutes before he appeared. They had cleared an area out.
Triple H took over calling the show in the last couple of minutes and called for the copyright logo. Even many in production didn’t know.
I’m told Triple H personally called for CM Punk’s music at production.
Punk came onto the stage after the conclusion of the men’s WarGames main event, which was won by Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn and Seth Rollins.
After showing Punk celebrating with fans for a little while, the show went off the air.
We’ll keep you posted with any news from the post-show press conference, which Triple H is speaking in.
