CM Punk made his big return to WWE last month at Survivor Series and since then the former WWE Champion has been popping up in some unexpected places. Last week CM Punk made his first appearance on SmackDown in nearly a decade, and he also shared a moment in the ring with Shawn Michaels at NXT Deadline.
During a recent episode of his Hall of Fame podcast Booker T explained that CM Punk wasn’t hidden away backstage and the two stars actually crossed paths in catering.
“CM Punk wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t hidden away in some room making a surprise appearance. He was running around and mingling. I ran into CM Punk in catering. Was sitting there talking to Jeremy Borash. I walked up to CM Punk and said, ‘CM Punk! What up man?!?’ He stands up and he goes, ‘What’s up, man? You flip flopper’ [laughs]. I go, ‘You know how the business is, sometimes you’re a heel, sometimes you’re a babyface.’ [laughs].
It was very cool. We talked, small talk, he seemed to be at peace and ready to re-write the legacy of CM Punk and finish it off properly. I can’t say anything bad about him. I know people wish I would say something bad about CM Punk. I ain’t kissing a** or anything, either. It just seemed like he was in a calm space.”
Monday night was big for CM Punk as he officially declared that he will be entering the 2024 men’s Royal Rumble match. Punk also signed a deal that will make him exclusive to the Raw brand, and he came face to face with Seth Rollins who had some interesting things to say to the Second City Saint.
