CM Punk is once again a WWE Superstar and is ready to take over the world of wrestling once more, according to Anthony Pettis.
The former AEW World Champion returned to WWE at the Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 Premium Live Event. The event marked Punk’s first WWE appearance since the 2014 Royal Rumble and his first appearance in wrestling since his AEW release in September of this year.
CM Punk is Ready to Take Over the World
CM Punk has made an impact since returning to WWE and fans can expect that the continue. Speaking with Sportskeeda, Anthony Pettis, a former UFC Lightweight Champion recalled meeting with Punk before Survivor Series and their interaction following the Best in the World’s return.
“I had CM Punk as a special guest on APFC, the weekend before they [WWE] announced his comeback. He didn’t say nothing about it. So we were hanging out in APFC chilling. Nate Diaz was there, Frank Mir was there, Rampage Jackson was there, Yair Rodriguez, we had a squad in walk. You know this is a dope event. And he didn’t say nothing about it bro.
“One of the most humblest guys you ever meet and one of the hardest-working guys you ever met. I was very excited for him. I text him right away and I think his response was ‘Let’s take over the world brother’ and I’m like ‘Yeah let’s go man!’ It’s awesome.”
What’s Next for CM Punk?
Punk’s intentions to ‘take over’ will seemingly result in the Chicago-Made star facing Seth Rollins. The reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion has made his issues clear with Punk’s return following the hostile comments Punk had for WWE during his nine-year absence. On this week’s Raw, Punk exclusively signed with the red brand and announced his participation in next month’s Men’s Royal Rumble match.
