CM Punk, in a surprise move that few could have predicted, made a triumphant comeback to WWE during Survivor Series 2020, after his exit from WWE 2014 seemed to close this chapter forever. His comeback, given his past of disputes within the WWE, both involving management and other wrestlers was met with great anticipation. Vince McMahon is no longer the head of WWE. He was very angry with him.
Punk’s re-entry into WWE was influenced by the resignation of Vince McMahon, who has been replaced as CEO and chairman by Nick Khan. Punk collaborates on the creative side with Triple H. Triple H was the one who initiated the talks that led to Punk’s re-entry.
He has been involved in fierce rivalries since his return with stars such as Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre and others. Punk expressed openly his happiness with the current WWE, which is a stark contrast from his previous experiences. In an exclusive interview with The Daily MailThe Undertaker is a WWE icon who shared his opinion on CM Pun’s WWE comeback.
Undertaker commented, “I am not as active in the world today like I was before, but each time that I attend an event, I see Punk he’s a completely different person.”
He’s friendly and outgoing. I can see that he mentors a lot, making me very happy. After all, he is one of the greatest of his generation. It’s a long journey to reach that stage in your life where you can enjoy what you’ve got and don’t worry about the little things.
Prior to his first departure, CM was able to share the ring The Undertaker. CM Punk and The Undertaker had several high-profile matchups in 2009. These included clashes with Breaking Point, Hell in a Cell and the World Heavyweight Championship at stake. CM Punk was able to showcase his in-ring skills and cement his position as a leading contender.
In 2013, the culmination of this rivalry was WrestleMania29. This storyline was controversial because Punk used the death of Paul Bearer as fuel to ignite the feud. Bearer had been The Undertaker’s legendary manager. The angle involved CM Punk insulting Paul Bearer’s memory.
The storyline also included an urn, an iconic element of The Undertaker’s persona which Bearer frequently carried. The Undertaker won the match against CM Punk, extending his streak of unbeaten performances at WWE’s annual premier event.
