In a stunning turn of events that caught both fans and industry insiders off guard, CM Punk made a dramatic return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023, immediately sparking conversations about the nature of his comeback and the deal paving the way for his return to the squared circle.
At the culmination of the men’s WarGames match, CM Punk emerged, much to the delight of the WWE Universe in attendance, engaging in a post-match celebration as the Survivor Series broadcast ended. Such a surprise had not leaked to news outlets earlier, indicating the guarded secrecy by which WWE orchestrated this unexpected moment.
In the wake of his return, reports have begun to surface concerning Punk’s contract with the company. Leading wrestling news sources, including PWInsider and noted journalist Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, have confirmed that Punk has committed himself to WWE with a contract that spans multiple years. The details were succinctly put by PWInsider, stating that Punk’s contract is “several years in length,” although further specifics regarding the exact timeline are currently not disclosed.
It is also yet to be clarified whether Punk’s role will entail a full-time presence on WWE programming, but what is known for sure is that fans can anticipate his in-ring action, with PWInsider affirming his capacity as an active competitor.
The aftermath of Survivor Series bore additional intrigue beyond Punk’s return. Drew McIntyre reportedly made a hasty and abrupt exit from the venue post-WarGames match. Speculation abounds as to whether this was connected to Punk’s appearance, but no conclusive evidence has surfaced to link the incidents directly. Additionally, online videos captured Seth Rollins vociferously expressing discontent at ringside during Punk’s moment. The authenticity of Rollins’ outburst remains in question—whether a genuine reaction or a calculated performance to stir the pot for a potential storyline with Punk remains to be seen.
