Jinder Mahal Reveals His Emotions About CM Punk WWE Return

WWE/AEW

Jinder Mahal has shared his honest thoughts on CM Punk returning to WWE, noting that he has mixed emotions about Punk’s comeback.

CM Punk returned to WWE at the end of the Survivor Series premium live event in November 2023.

While Punk hasn’t wrestled on WWE TV since making his return, the former WWE Champion has made it clear that he intends to win the upcoming Royal Rumble and headline WrestleMania 40.

Speaking with WWE India on Instagram, Mahal noted that he’s excited to share the ring with Punk.

Also believing that Seth Rollins’ issues with Punk are valid, Mahal said:

“You know, I have mixed emotions (about CM Punk’s WWE return). The fan in me is excited. Excited for CM Punk’s return. I’m excited for the matches, I’m excited to get in the ring with CM Punk.

“But, I do see Seth’s point because I was there in WWE when CM Punk was in WWE the last time and Seth (Rollins) also has a point.

“But, nonetheless, let’s see what CM Punk does, let’s see his attitude, let’s see his reaction.

“Let’s see if he offers the opportunity to younger superstars. Let’s see. Overall, I’m excited but, I can see Seth’s point. But, at the same time, we have a new generation of fans.

“Some people haven’t seen CM Punk before and this is the first time they’re seeing CM Punk.

“But, CM Punk is one of the all-time greats and I’m curious to see if he still has it. So let’s find out.”

With Jinder Mahal set to challenge for Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship on Monday’s (January 15) edition of Raw, we could see Punk and Mahal face off sooner rather than later if the Best in the World wins the Rumble, and the Modern Day Maharaja wins the world title.

Mahal has shared a final message ahead of his major title match, which you can read more about right here.
