CM Punk confirms that his WWE return at Survivor Series came together at the last minute.
RAW Superstar CM Punk was a guest on the WWE 2024 Preview Special. When asked about his return at Survivor Series, Punk confirmed reports online that everything happened so fast the day of the show, and he was telling people close to him what was about to happen as he drove to the arena.
“Oh God, how much time do we got? I feel like we can take up the whole show just talking –everything happened that day so fast,” CM Punk admitted. “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.
“I’m texting my sisters because nobody knew. That’s 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. It was a magical moment. There were so many things going through my head. The nerves, people I haven’t seen in ten years. I had questions, concerns, maybe even worries. And it was all solved the instant the 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. You always, as a performer, try to hit your cues based on the song, like where we’re at. Where’s Corey Glover at right now? Okay, I’m gonna do this. This is when I get down; 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. It was a very magical moment.”
