Triple H Comments On CM Punk’s WWE Return – Triple H’s take on CM Punk’s return at the 2023 Survivor Series was quite revealing. During the Survivor Series: WarGames Post-Show Press Conference, Lavesque mentioned that the return was a sudden lightning strike moment, coming together swiftly. Despite the rapid nature of this development, Triple H expressed genuine excitement about having Punk back in WWE.
He acknowledged Punk’s polarizing nature, emphasizing how Punk tends to stir conversations and debates, making him a focal point regardless of people’s opinions. Triple H highlighted the importance of fan enthusiasm and WWE Universe’s interest in Punk’s return, indicating a willingness to explore the possibilities based on that excitement.
“So this is one of those things — a lightning in a bottle moment that came together quickly. But we are incredibly excited about it. It’s been a long time and in some ways it’s been a long time coming. You could say this about CM Punk; love him, hate him, positive, negative, whatever you want to say, people talk about him all the time. He is a magnet for that. He is a conversation starter and it’s tough to look past that. And for me, if our fans want it, if the WWE Universe is excited to have it, then let’s go and we’ll figure out the rest of it from there.
This came together super-quick, which I’m sure is why it stayed very tight. There was a lot of speculation, and at that point, it was nothing but speculation. For most of the time it was speculation. It didn’t really come to fruition until everybody stopped thinking it was going to happen. And then all of the sudden, it was happening. But [I’m] extremely excited. A lot of time has gone by. Almost ten years, right? And if you are the same person you were ten years ago ten years later, you’ve messed up. Everybody grows, everybody changes, and I’m a different person. He’s a different person, this is a different company and we’re all of the same even starting ground.
So what’s next for CM Punk? That will be interesting, won’t it. I am interested to see that myself. I know whatever it is, it will be talked about, it will be exciting and it will be a thrill ride for the WWE Universe, no matter what it is. I’m thrilled, we’re all thrilled, to have him back here. It’s cliche to say, but [we’re excited] to have him back home in WWE. It’s where he belongs.”
As seen below, “The Game” also posted a photo of himself and CM Punk backstage after his surprise return at Survivor Series along with a caption that read, “Mighty cold day in hell.”
