WWE celebrated the anniversary by sharing some new behind-the-scenes footage of Punk from Survivor Series 2023. It includes him interacting with Levesque, Prichard, Stephanie McMahon, William Regal, Michael Hayes, Bayley, Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston, and more while in Gorilla position before and after his return.

One of the most surprising and most anticipated returns of all time was the WWE return of the self-proclaimed Best in the World, CM Punk. It was at the closing moments of last year’s Survivor Series WarGames.

WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin texted former AEW star CM Punk after the latter made his return to wrestling. In 2021, Punk returned to the ring after a seven-year hiatus, but his time with the promotion became controversial.

Sami Zayn was in the ring at WWE Survivor Series 2023 when "Cult of Personality" hit over the speakers at the Allstate Arena and CM Punk infamously made his surprise return to WWE. What was Zayn thinking at the moment?

CM Punk made his unlikely, electric return to WWE at Survivor Series in his beloved hometown of Chicago. It’s got the Best in the World in a reflective mood, but he still found time to do a little business.

The shocking return of CM Punk has indeed made the WWE universe go crazy. Punk’s return has grabbed the attention of fans all over the world and it also gained the focus of a 16-time WWE champion on social media.
