CM Punk’s highly anticipated return to WWE at Survivor Series last month has proven to be a game-changer for the company’s appeal, marking a significant upswing in fan interest. As each day unfolds, Punk’s presence in the wrestling world continues to escalate, generating a mounting wave of enthusiasm among devoted fans. His recent live appearance at the WWE event on December 30th only served to intensify this buzz.
Since re-entering the WWE arena just a month ago, the Second City Saint has embarked on an extraordinary streak, leaving audiences awestruck by his rapid and impactful achievements. The anticipation among fans for what CM Punk could accomplish in 2024 is palpable, adding to the overall excitement surrounding his return.
The December 30th WWE live event witnessed CM Punk engage in a rematch against Dominik Mysterio, marking their second encounter of the week. True to expectations, Punk secured another victory in this faceoff, further solidifying his dominance in the ring.
Post-match, CM Punk took center stage with a captivating promo directed at the audience. Expressing disappointment that Rhea Ripley was absent from the event, Punk playfully stated his desire to bodyslam Ripley and jokingly predicted catastrophic consequences for California. He then shifted gears to address Cody Rhodes, offering a sincere apology for his earlier statement that winning the Royal Rumble would conclude Rhodes’ story.
In Punk’s own words, “Like all of you, I’m disappointed that Rhea Ripley wasn’t here tonight. I was looking forward to hoisting her up and bodyslamming her to cause California to break down to San Andreas and fall into the ocean. Maybe next time. At the end of the month in January, I got to the Royal Rumble and dammit, if there was a sign in this building I’d point to it right now. I’m gonna point to my heart, that’s where all you reside till I walk into the Rumble and walk out the winner. That’s me, finishing what I started, and it’s not over then ’cause I’m going to main event WrestleMania. And that’s not me finishing my story, sorry Cody, that’s just me getting started.”
