CM Punk opens up about his WWE return at Survivor Series in Chicago including keeping the appearance a total secret.

Appearing on the WWE Preview Special 2024, CM Punk spoke about his return to WWE in front of his hometown crowd in Chicago, Illinois.

CM Punk said:

“Oh God, how much time we got? I feel like we could take up the whole show just talking (about my return at Survivor Series).

“Everything that day just happened so fast. You should never text and drive ladies and gentlemen.

“So I was trying to drive to the Allstate Arena and let everybody that deserved to know, that was in my orbit know what was about to happen so I’m texting my sisters, because nobody knew.

“This is how you get things done in this business.

“You keep things close to the vest, you don’t leak stuff and that’s when the magic happens and it was a magical moment and it was so many things going through my head.

“The nerves, people I haven’t seen in 10 years. I had questions, worries, maybe even concerns and that all dissolved when that song hit, ‘Cult of Personality’ and I walked out in front of my hometown.

“I couldn’t hear the song anymore. I didn’t know my cues. As a performer, (you) try to hit your cues based on the song.

“Like where we’re at, where’s Corey Glover at? Okay, I’m gonna do this.

“This is when I say, ‘It’s clobbering time.’ All of it went out the window. I couldn’t hear the song, I just heard the people and it was a very magical moment.”

Elsewhere in the appearance, CM Punk shared his thoughts on Seth Rollins and spoiler: they spare no feelings!
