Triple H comments on CM Punk’s return to WWE

Survivor Series ended on Saturday with CM Punk’s grand return to WWE, which was long-awaited by fans, especially after his departure from AEW.

The song “Cult of Personality” was played and CM Punk appeared in the entrance area, driving fans crazy and sparking different reactions around the world.

In the post-Survivor Series press conference, Triple H commented on CM Punk’s return to WWE and talked about how it happened.

This is one of those “light in a bottle” moments that came very quickly. We’re incredibly excited about this. It’s been a long time coming, and in some ways it’s been a long time coming.

You could say that about CM Punk; Love it, hate it, positive, negative, whatever you want to say, people talk about it all the time. It’s a magnet for that, it’s a conversation starter, and it’s hard to ignore that. To me, if our fans want it, if the WWE Universe is excited to have it, then let’s do it, and we’ll figure out the rest from there.

This happened very quickly, and I’m sure that’s why it was so secret. There was a lot of speculation, and at that point, it was nothing more than speculation. Most of the time it was speculation, and it didn’t materialize until everyone stopped thinking it would happen, and then suddenly it did.

Very excited. It’s been a long time, almost ten years. If you’re the same person you were ten years ago, or ten years from now, you’ve failed. Everyone grows, everyone changes. I’m a different person, and he’s a different person. This is a different company. We are all at the same starting point.

What’s next for CM Punk? This would be interesting, wouldn’t it? I’m interested to see that. I know that whatever it is, it’s going to be talked about, it’s going to be exciting and it’s going to be an emotional ride for the WWE Universe no matter what it is. I’m thrilled, we’re all thrilled to have him back here, that’s a cliche, to bring him home to WWE. This is where he belongs.

Triple H also explained that there was no pressure from TKO for CM Punk to return to WWE, and that very few people knew about it, because the group trusted the people leading the company.

In addition to these statements, Triple H also shared a photo on social media alongside CM Punk.
