Jinder Mahal Shares Thoughts on CM Punk’s WWE Return – Jinder Mahal acknowledges the valid perspective put forth by Seth Rollins regarding the controversial return of CM Punk to WWE. Punk’s highly anticipated comeback at WWE Survivor Series 2023 has set the wrestling community abuzz, prompting reactions from various corners, including reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre, who have taken jabs at Punk on WWE Raw.
During a conversation with WWE India on their Instagram page, Jinder Mahal shared his mixed emotions about CM Punk’s return. Expressing excitement as a fan, Mahal eagerly looks forward to the matches and the prospect of stepping into the ring with Punk. However, he acknowledges Seth Rollins’ viewpoint, drawing from their shared experiences during Punk’s previous stint in WWE.
“I have mixed emotions [laughs]. The fan in me is excited, excited for CM Punk’s return. I’m excited for the matches, I’m excited to get in the ring with CM Punk. But I do see Seth’s point because I was there when CM Punk was in WWE the last time, and Seth also has a point. But nonetheless, let’s see what CM Punk does. Let’s see his attitude, let’s see his reaction. Let’s see if he offers up the opportunities to younger superstars. Let’s see. Overall, I’m excited. But I could see Seth’s point. But at the same time, we have a new generation of fans. Some people watching haven’t seen CM Punk before, and this is the first time they’re seeing CM Punk. But CM Punk is one of the all-time greats, and I’m curious to see if he still has it. So let’s find out,” Mahal said.
The impending clash between Mahal and Rollins on the January 15 episode of WWE Raw, where Rollins defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Mahal, adds an extra layer of anticipation to the unfolding drama in the WWE universe.
