Top WWE star CM Punk appeared on The Rich Eisen Show to discuss a variety of topics, including his return to the company in November 2023 after leaving AEW and previously stating he wouldn’t return to WWE.
Punk said, “I obviously, famously said that I’m never coming back. Never. And what does life do to you? Well, life humbles you. Life teaches you lessons. Life tells you, you never say never. I can confidently say that if it was the same place that it was, with the same people in charge, yeah, I don’t think either side would have really reached out. It never would have happened. But amidst a shake-up of the hierarchy of the company, [it was] the right place, right time. Timing is everything in life and in sports, and it came to fruition. You know, it starts with an idea, it starts with that little spark, that little match, and it turns into a pretty big forest fire.”
