The first match in his WWE return wasn’t televised for all fans to watch CM Punk. However, courtesy of the digital age of technology. Fans from all over the world were able to watch as Punk made his return. He faced former NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio and was victorious at the WWE MSG Live Event.
After his match, Punk took the Microphone and addressed the crowd.
There’s a little part of me that came here for me, but you guys are the high tide that raises all ships,” Punk said. “You have carried me throughout my career to my greatest moments and this is one of them.” Punk then told the crowd to look at their fellow members of the WWE Universe and say hello and shake hands, much like the “Sign of Peace” at Catholic Mass. Punk says that he’s grateful to wake up and to be in the ring and for each and every fan that came to see him wrestle.”
“I came to finish what I started. It starts tonight in the world’s most famous arena and the greatest fans on earth,” Punk said. “The Voice of the Voiceless” then said he’d win the Royal Rumble and head to WrestleMania. “That isn’t me finishing my story, that’s just me getting started.”
CM Punk had officially become the second entrant to announce they’d be in the Royal Rumble when he cut a promo against Seth Rollins.
Punk was not done making his thoughts known, as WWE cameras caught up with “The Second City Saint” after the win, where he said, “King’s back, best in the world.”
He has a couple more appearances on the WWE Holiday tour, so its likely that the first televised match in the return for CM Punk will come in 2024. However, it’s unclear as to who his first opponent on Raw, Smackdown or even NXT would be.
