SETH ROLLINS CONFRONTS CM PUNK BACKSTAGE!!!! Latest CM Punk Returns To WWE At Survivor Series News!!
CM Punk has returned to WWE, to the shock of many in the company.
CM Punk returned at Survivor Series, at the end of the show in a closely guarded, and quickly put together secret. Fightful was told on November 19 that CM Punk and Triple H had a very productive, hour-long conversation that mended fences between the two.
Triple H confirmed that talks had not happened between the two sides until rumors died down, and it actually didn't look like a deal was happening.
Triple H said that any reports of a deal prior were purely speculation, and that it came together very quickly. WWE confirmed the official agreement happened today, and sources near Punk claimed that as of Saturday morning. no contract was signed.
Punk had told select people close to him that the return was happening.
Minutes before Punk appeared, a section of backstage was cleared out, but Punk was seen in plain sight. We're told that Triple H took over producing the show himself at that point, called for the copyright graphic, and then also personally called for CM Punk's music to hit, per Cory Brennan of Fightful
Producers, referees, staff, talent, and even head writers on the creative team were not told.
Talent were pulled aside before the WarGames match and told that CM Punk would be returning at the conclusion of the show. At least one talent claimed legitimately to be upset by the return of Punk, and both Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins looked visibly angry.
Seth Rollins had to be restrained by Michael Cole, Corey Graves and others. Backstage, Seth Rollins was in gorilla and had to be ushered away by Triple H and Michael Cole, as he was looking for CM Punk. We're told that Punk looked confused and it was an awkward scene.
Drew McIntyre was said to have been visibly upset backstage, leaving the venue, slamming the locker room door and cursing as he left.
WWE reiterated that any perceived references from the likes of Shinsuke Nakamura, or on commentary were not with the knowledge this deal was in place.
