Appearing on the brand new No-Contest Wrestling podcast on
The Rich Eisen Podcast Network, WWE Superstar CM Punk gave
the most detailed overview of how his Survivor Series return
came to be last year.
Speaking to hosts O’Shea Jackson, Jr. and TJ Jefferson, Punk
said that when he arrived at the Allstate Arena for the
show, he still didn’t have a signed contract and was not
sure if the deal was even going to happen. He was given a
hoodie and told to stay in his car in the back, where
several production trucks were also parked.
Punk said that the truck next to him had a photo of Steve
Austin so he took a selfie and sent it to Austin, who
replied with, “WTF kid?”
Punk said that they cleared the hallway and he was brought
in through the service elevator and hid in Triple H’s office
just as the WarGames match was starting, awaiting news if
the deal is going through or not. When he was told it’s on,
he walked through and arrived at Gorilla where it was packed
with people since the show was about to end.
Bayley was the first one to give him a bear hug, telling
Punk that she knew it was him when they told everyone to
clear. He also met Stephanie McMahon, who he had not seen in
10 years.
Punk said he had no idea what he was going to do or how the
layout of the entrance was and was trying to communicate
with Triple H what he wants him to do. Triple H told him to
walk up to the cages, where they held the wrestlers before
they entered WarGames, but Punk thought he needed to walk to
the main cage in the ring. Among the confusion, he finally
figured out what was required of him and all of a sudden
they hit his music and the rest is history!
