WWE News: CM Punk Returns At Survivor Series

As the Survivor Series was going off, the images saw round the world: CM Punk being back in WWE in Chicago at Survivor Series. Who would have thought this day was going to come? Well, when there is a will, there is a way. As Full Press Wrestling reported throughout the process, CM Punk going back to WWE at the Survivor Series made sense.

With Survivor Series in Chicago and Punk being fired from AEW, it was the perfect spot for him to return. It took some work. Punk had to bury the hatchet with a lot of wrestlers. Triple H kept this close to the vest. Most people did not know he was returning. WWE wanted you to believe he was not going to be there despite images and constant teases. The official meeting to get everything signed and sealed on Punk’s three-year deal was done day of the Survivor Series.

The roar of the crowd in Chicago was electric. Remember, these people were denied an appearance back in September. Punk in Chicago is like Bret Hart in Calgary, Roddy Piper in Portland, and Ric Flair in Charlotte. While some wrestlers like Seth Rollins did not like his return, that is part of a work dating back to his comments made earlier in the year about Punk being a cancer.

It will be interesting to see what his first feud is and what he has to say. Tune into RAW to find out.

WWE News: Randy Orton Comes Back To Action

It has been teased since the last episode of RAW. Cody Rhodes needed a fifth member to take on The Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre. The fans knew and chanted his name. Cody in his final promo before the Survivor Series War Games match, dropped even more clues. Though he did not say his name, Cody referenced Randy Orton in the entire promo. Thus making him the fifth member of Cody’s team.

You were wondering how WWE was going to bring back Orton. He was the last member of the babyface team. But when it was time for him to come out, Orton did not appear right away. Instead, Seth Rollins went through a table and Rhea Ripley was teasing a Money in the Bank cash-in until Orton’s music hit and the Viper came out.
