Released WWE Star Upset About CM Punk’s Return

The last few months have been loaded with big WWE returns as fans have seen names like John Cena, The Rock, Randy Orton and CM Punk return to TV. Orton made his return to WWE at Survivor Series in November and his team scored a major victory in the WarGames match that main evented the show.

After the match was over CM Punk made his big return to WWE after almost a decade after he parted ways with the company. During a virtual signing with Signed By Superstars, Matt Riddle talked a little bit about CM Punk’s return to WWE and admitted that he was upset Punk returned on the same day as his former tag team partner.

“I love Randy, he looks incredible he’s killing it. I think the only thing I was upset on the day of his return somebody else made a really big return.”

Prior to his return at Survivor Series, Randy Orton had last wrestled when he and Riddle dropped the Raw Tag Team Championship to The Usos during an episode of SmackDown in May of 2022. It seems unlikely that we’ll be seeing a RK-Bro reunion anytime soon, but Riddle had nothing but praise for The Viper.

“At the end of the day, Randy’s awesome, he’s put [in] his time and he’s been on more ‘Raw’s and more pay-per-views than anybody and honestly, he was the greatest tag partner I ever had he was amazing. I’m happy for him, I’m happy the surgery went well, he’s bigger, stronger, healthier, and he’s back. Very proud of him.”
