AEW commentator Jim Ross has reacted to CM Punk making his return to WWE and praised Triple H and his booking
CM Punk made his return at WWE Survivor Series on November 25, 2023, with his first appearance in a WWE ring in nearly a decade taking place on the following Monday’s episode of Raw.
The full segment from the November 27 episode of WWE Raw can be seen below this news story.
On the Grilling JR podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross reflected on Punk’s return, saying:
“It was a perfect booking decision. It was a great creative move. (The pop) was sustained chaos.
“I guarantee you there’s a lot of AEW fans that went to Survivor Series.
“They’re wrestling fans. They don’t have this brand-bulls**t where I’m only going to support one brand.
“So you must not really be a wrestling fan then, right? How could you be a wrestling fan and not be happy for the success of others within your industry? I don’t get it.
“So anyway, it was great booking, good judgment by Paul Levesque (Triple H). It was the perfect end to the show.”
Ross would also touch upon disagreeing Punk, who he calls a friend, adding:
“Phil’s a friend. I didn’t always agree with him, and I certainly agreed with him more than not on some of his issues.
“I don’t know, man. He’s just a friend. I’m happy for my friends that find success in their chosen vocation.
“I wish him the best of luck on his journey. I don’t agree with all the s**t that went on with him (during his last WWE run).
“I think he could have handled it a little differently as probably everybody could if you go back and look at it in hindsight.
“But the bottom line is he left and he was a great get, timely, and I loved the surprise.”
CM Punk’s next WWE appearance has yet to be confirmed, but we will of course keep you posted.
