I could watch a 2 hour documentary on this return alone. Him seeing everyone, the pre/during/after.... I hope this gets to 20 million views, so that they do it.
Don’t make me want that, I already had to wait a year just to see this highlight reel, how much longer would they make me wait to watch the whole shebang?!
3:45 you can tell triple h puts his all in planning and running this carnival. and even on his best days like punk's return, he humbles himself, doubts himself. the saviour of professional wrestling. well done triple H. take a bow.
@wisey105 apparently Cody and Randy knew before the match Punk was there. Everyone else was informed after the match ended. If you look at clips find records you'll see the ref going to everyone after the match to let them know. You'll also see Michael Cole leave the booth after punk comes out to talk to Seth Rollins. I'm assuming to get instructions
@@BlazePizzeriaFacts. Randy and Punk did that watch along for their match and mentioned that Randy texted him after he heard Punk is out of AEW if he was coming back.
For someone who supposedly ruffled a lot of feathers, there was a ton of genuine love for CM Punk being back in WWE. He got so many hugs, handshakes. Vince always used to say he did things that were best for business. I think it’s truly HHH that does things that’s best for business. Developing a friendship with the Ultimate Warrior and bringing him back before his passing, meeting with Jesse Ventura and healing that relationship, working with CM Punk, respecting the legends, building the woman’s division, HHH is just fixing all of Vince’s past mistakes. It’s so refreshing to see!
That because at some point Vince became a complete corporate narcissist. Only caring about what Vince wanted and screwed over so many people to push his own agenda. I’m really starting to think that the “Mr.McMahon” character was who Vince truly was and he was able to get away with it, by calling that side of him the character he plays on Television. Vince looked at the talent like his property. You weren’t allowed to do projects outside of WWE without his permission and with the exception of John Cena or Randy Orton he always said no. He was a control freak. He always had to have it his way and who cares what the fans wanted. Triple H is fixing Vince McMahon’s left over messes.
I agree that HHH does what’s best for business but don’t downplay what Vince did. He brought back so many people who left and he put his feelings aside for the sake of business! During punk’s interview with aerial Henry he talks about how Vince was happy to see him and how they were going to have a meeting. Vince brought back Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Hired Eric bishoff, Bruno Sammartino, Sting. HHH learned from Vince.
I am for sure thinking that after he feuds fully with Seth the full interactions with them will be made public and then we will see how they made the feud work
If somebody asks what moment you want to forget and relive that again, it's this one, it was fine Sunday morning in India, 10 years of wait, no hope and this happens, was jumping up and down the whole room, damn
1 year later and it still feels surreal as ever seeing him back in WWE. I've loved every single second of having him back in the company and it's genuinely so heartwarming to see him enjoying it. Long Live Punk!!
True about AEW losing money this is why Triple H is an infinitely better leader than Tony Khan. Tony Khan = scared of punk and the disruption he might cause 🙀 Triple H = Think of the stories and what great business this would be 🤑
Look how positive the vibe is. Remember how the haters were trying to claim that most were upset with Punk coming back? These backstage clips give the only perspective needed.
I'm not sure if you all realize that William Regal isn't all that excited about Punk's return because if I'm not mistaken Punk and Regal have a problem in AEW. I think it's about Punk or Regal not shaking hands or something like that.
I think it's a jab at AEW lol. HHH deliberately revealed the photo on the internet to tell AEW wrestlers especially Tony Khan that CM Punk is in WWE. 😂
As someone who loves being in production with a triple H role.. I TRULY appreciate all the behind the scenes clips WWE. Makes people realize all the real work that’s been done for the fans to enjoy.
For me, the most emotional reunions for Punk were with Kofi and Corey. Knowing the story of what happened with Corey and Punk to actually see them reunite and now being friends again is amazing. Also, with Kofi. Kofi said in an interview that even if they dont speak no more, Punk is always going to be his brother. Man, what a moment?
@@LosDrinks basically after Punks first loss in the UFC, Corey made fun of punk, basically saying: “you really left us and the WWE for this??” I guess Punk basically abandoned all his old friends in WWE after he left, including Corey
@@extremeuzer3 I think Punk also explain it in a way in an interview before Wrestlemania this year. When he left he was in a paranoid state of mind, with the ongoing lawsuit of the doctor that he could not really trust anyone.
This is/was one of the greatest moments in the history of the pro wrestling industry. Punk got me back into wrestling way back when he cut his pipebomb promo. Ever since then, I've been a huge fan of his and everywhere he goes I follow. The guy is must watch TV. Would be an honor to at least shake his hand and thank him for being part of making wrestling great again. He's the Best in The World for a reason.
I’m guessing if that’s the case then they are saving it for when Punk gets his mania main event because you’ve got footage from this, I’d imagine there’s also footage of his rehab like they did with Cody so I’d imagine they are saving all of that for a big documentary
This is incredible; seeing more of one of the greatest returns of the modern period is wonderful. I still recall how shocked I was that evening. I can't believe a year has passed already.
Not only the fact that this is Punk coming back to the place that “got him sick” but, it was literally a last minute deal. He signed a contract THE DAY OF Survivor Series. The chances of this happening were actually so incredibly low, it’s insane. The AEW return was amazing, but you can’t discredit this one, it’s one of if not the best return the company has ever had
I’m so happy they finally released the footage of Punk’s return backstage. You can see Punk’s emotions while he was saying hi and waiting to go out. Plus since WWE is showing us now after a year since his return means one thing in my opinion. Punk is going to win the Rumble and finally main event WrestleMania
I’ve predicted McIntyre gets that nod actually due to the Glasgow event. Punk was groomed in the trilogy to further from Gunther for McIntyre, who agreed not to get one clean victory on Punk yet for that reason. If McIntyre leaves Vegas as champion too, then it logically leads to a Punk match next summer for the title, perhaps in Europe.
I think they waited a year to release the footage of the events at Gorila to see whether his comeback would be successful or a mistake to bring him back. Since it turned out to be a great success, that's why they released the footage now.
he said this in a podcast called no-contest wrestling, bayley bear hugged him from behind and was like saying she knew he was here as soon as security was clearing out space backstage
I will never forget Survivor Series 2023, i stopped watching wwe late 2014 due to the shield breaking up and the hype of punk returning the fall of ‘23 is what made me watch the PLE just in case and Thank God because it actually happened 😭🙏🏽
@@Deshawnjay as I say it was insane but with no disrespect to Americans or anything but they physically can’t make an atmosphere like UK or Europe in general
@@waynedapayne Did y'all in the house have any idea? Any signs or chants or gossip going around the arena that he was there? I'd like to think you were all totally caught by surprise.
As much as i loved edge's iconic return at the rumble back in 2020 this one right here just hit straight in the feels man as soon as that iconic static sound hits me and my fam were literally jumping & crying out of excitement 🥹this is why i love pro wrestling i live for moments like this man 💯
After nearly a whole decade Punk returns home in the best way he could in his home state. Amazing how this was a year ago and Punk so far since his return gave us one of the best feuds of 2024 between him and Drew McIntyre and now reinvolving himself with helping an old friend in Paul Heyman in War Games. In a sense it all comes full circle, Punk returned at Survivor Series last year after the War Games match and this year he's in the War Games match.
Dude I totally get Punks confusion now when he talked about this. "Go to the cages!" He was already confused going in there. This makes more more sense now.
Was a die hard punk fan growing up and when he left in 2014, I quit watching wrestling all together.. 10 years later he’s back and wrestling is great again. I don’t care what anyone says, to me he truly is the Best in the world
HHH is just a different type of leader. Vince and Tony for different reasons could never.. just looking how involved he is. From the NXT days to now just working on a different level
Of course HHH is different. HHH is as passionate about wrestling as anyone the biggest difference he has with Tony is that he's not a pushover. He knows what's the wrestlers needs because he was in their shoes. He knows what corporate needs because he was in the back with Vince. HHH knows how the politics in wrestling is and knows how to handle massive egos.
Vince - born in wrestling family and raise to take over the company Tony - a wrestling fan that have money and his own passion for wrestling Triple H - 2 decades of experience as a wrestler
Nice to see Trip's Team with Steph by his side, Prichard, Regal and Roode in there. And a NPC Brotha in there too just for good measure. Triple H has Wrestling flowing through his vains and is the true gift to this Organisation. When guys come and go, he's still there. The Company is in safe hands. Vince and Linda did a great job passing the reigns onto him. And shout out on RKO's return and R-Truth. Let those guys carry the Company.. Punk, Orton and Truth are global Superstars. Have some fun. This Organisaion still has big potential.. Time to fulfil.
@@nblfallen02 vince wasn't raised to take over. He strong armed his dad to sell him the company. Vince Sr. Never wanted Vince to be in the wrestling business. You're right about the rest though
I'm just happy Punk had the chance to patch things up with his friends, and now they all are working together again. Not everyone has that opportunity.
0:44 I’m surprised Stephanie was here backstage that night I thought she quit WWE her job on January 2023 but she’s Triple H’s wife so she can come if she wants.
Publicly she left, but she has actually been the Chief Brand Officer the entire time. Internally it was just a leave of absence, likely because she knew she would come back after getting rid of her dad.
@@MuMasoo She served in that role for a couple of years. They hired a new CMO after she and Khan were promoted to co-CEO. I can't find anything about who fills that role now so I'm led to believe that it's been folded into another division. EDIT: Looks like it falls under Endeavour CMO Amanda Landsow.
@@pisto30yeah and I believe Edge did have some appearance before his actual return as well like the therapy segment that he did with Randy while CM Punk have been buried WWE after he been let go and pretty much burn the bride from wrestling for a long time
@@pisto30Edge had a career ending injury we thought we would never see him in the ring again anywhere. When he retired on air it was heartbreaking to us all
Seeing how Punk being excited and nervous for his return to WWE while have words of encouragement by HHH and Steph. No one thought this say would come. The fact the company and Punk managed to buried the hatchet to the point Punk loves working with WWE shows how much HHH changed the company
such an surreal timeline in which Cm Punk and the Mcmahons get along. Had anyone told us that like the day Punk left AEW i wouldn't have thought this would be possible.
FASCINATING to see just how legitimately "LAST MINUTE" this all came together! NO REHEARSALS and they are literally giving him direction just minutes before he walks out! I'm happy for Punk that he's now somewhere he's APPRECIATED and not dealing with Middle-School-Elite-Drama. Good to be with Leaders that matter.
Man... ive been watching weekly since before i could remember. Born in 1993, watching with my mother and continuing the tradition- and loving shawn and hunter all my life. Then CM Punk along with many other names that i love, this was incredible and made me emotional seeing trips and punk hug after all these years. Then all the others he greeted at gorilla. I love professional wrestling.
This was so cool to watch, he was so nervous backstage but man its great to let it all out & be accepted back home after a period of time at "daycare." Ready for Wargames!!
I can’t even describe how much i missed this man in wwe for 10 years 😭 hearing cm punk chants even when he wasn’t in wwe, used to bring smile on my face ❤
He made comments not too long ago about how he was supposed to go closer to the cage, but it was too loud, so he didn't hear the instructions clearly. It did seem super loud, and the adrenaline in the soul made that seem true watching this. Still, it was perfection.
@NoneofYabiz-rx3zi I mean I only watch RUclips on my phone. I don't use computers. What can I use for my phone that I don't have to pay for? I find paying for RUclips to be silly. I would rather deal with ads.
@@miketaylor9544 Really not, ublock origin got you covered on pc and if you're mobile only, then premium is pretty much worth it for the ad free and background play experience
Same here. He stands with his convictions even when no one is on his side. That's what I love about him too and the fact that he's entertaining as hell to watch in that ring, on that microphone, even in commentary. Nobody can touch him.
This is a career defining moment for CM Punk. A man synonymous by the chants fans would give, even when the man was nowhere to be seen in any arena at any show, gets one of the biggest pops of 2023 after 10 years of being away from WWE. This truly proves without a shadow of a doubt that ANYTHING is possible within this new era of WWE and professional wrestling as a whole. A year later and I still get goosebumps. My throat still sore and my body still restless. What a night it was and what a time it is to be a wrestling fan.
This is amazing, it’s great to see more of one of the best returns of the modern era. I remember that night and I couldn’t believe it. Can’t believe it’s been a year already

Randy is so great that he did not let Punk feel as if he stole his moment. You earned our respect Randy.

Was interested to see that as well. Kept drew and seth interactions most likely not there on purpose that’s smart.

He probably misses it, people forget what an incredible heel he was especially in the late 90's vs Rock, Cactus Jack etc
The crowd has gone bananas!
@@LFC241 Oh he definitely misses it, especially since he didn't get to go out on his own terms.

True about AEW losing money this is why Triple H is an infinitely better leader than Tony Khan.

@@AHTOtvQuiet. If we want your two cents, we’ll shake it out of you. 🤫
It'll only be complete if it includes his time at the pissant company
I will never forget Survivor Series 2023, i stopped watching wwe late 2014 due to the shield breaking up and the hype of punk returning the fall of ‘23 is what made me watch the PLE just in case and Thank God because it actually happened 😭🙏🏽
One of the most shocking returns of all time with CM Punk. The pop was absolutely insane, we still can't believe this timeline is real
As much as it was insane imagine it in the UK or Europe, it would of been absolutely insane
@@rayvon354the reason it was so good is that it was in cm punks hometown in Chicago
@@Deshawnjay as I say it was insane but with no disrespect to Americans or anything but they physically can’t make an atmosphere like UK or Europe in general
@@rayvon354 This is just so stupid and untrue. Punk doesn't get that reaction if he isn't in Chicago. Get a clue and go kick rocks you eurotrash.
@@rayvon354nah Chicago is one of the best wrestling cities in the world. Definitely as good as European fans
I WAS THERE!!!! ROOF BLEW OFF THE PLACE 🤯🔥🔥🔥ANOTHER HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE BEST WRESTLING CITY 👏🏾
I was there as well. Been to a lot of sporting events around the city. Easily the loudest arena I’ve ever been in.
@@waynedapayne Did y'all in the house have any idea? Any signs or chants or gossip going around the arena that he was there? I'd like to think you were all totally caught by surprise.
@@waynedapayne Really? Even louder than a football game?
Under Vince this probably would've never happened. Under HHH everything is possible. This was an amazing night.
As much as i loved edge's iconic return at the rumble back in 2020 this one right here just hit straight in the feels man as soon as that iconic static sound hits me and my fam were literally jumping & crying out of excitement 🥹this is why i love pro wrestling i live for moments like this man 💯
2:16 That is a look of a man that is just genuinely happy to be home.
After nearly a whole decade Punk returns home in the best way he could in his home state. Amazing how this was a year ago and Punk so far since his return gave us one of the best feuds of 2024 between him and Drew McIntyre and now reinvolving himself with helping an old friend in Paul Heyman in War Games. In a sense it all comes full circle, Punk returned at Survivor Series last year after the War Games match and this year he's in the War Games match.
6:24 So THAT'S Stu the cameraman who John Cena talks to everytime in his entrances! 😲
15 year old me would’ve never thought he would come back. I felt a shock through my whole body when I hear the static.
Dude I totally get Punks confusion now when he talked about this. "Go to the cages!" He was already confused going in there. This makes more more sense now.
Was a die hard punk fan growing up and when he left in 2014, I quit watching wrestling all together.. 10 years later he’s back and wrestling is great again. I don’t care what anyone says, to me he truly is the Best in the world
FELLOW PUNK STAN
7:06 the reaction of Randy wow
That was awesome 😊
Survivor Series 2023 was the first time watching WWE in over 15 year, I've been hooked ever since that night.
HHH is just a different type of leader.
Vince and Tony for different reasons could never.. just looking how involved he is. From the NXT days to now just working on a different level
Of course HHH is different. HHH is as passionate about wrestling as anyone the biggest difference he has with Tony is that he's not a pushover. He knows what's the wrestlers needs because he was in their shoes. He knows what corporate needs because he was in the back with Vince. HHH knows how the politics in wrestling is and knows how to handle massive egos.
Vince - born in wrestling family and raise to take over the company
Tony - a wrestling fan that have money and his own passion for wrestling
Triple H - 2 decades of experience as a wrestler
Nice to see Trip's Team with Steph by his side, Prichard, Regal and Roode in there. And a NPC Brotha in there too just for good measure. Triple H has Wrestling flowing through his vains and is the true gift to this Organisation. When guys come and go, he's still there. The Company is in safe hands. Vince and Linda did a great job passing the reigns onto him. And shout out on RKO's return and R-Truth. Let those guys carry the Company.. Punk, Orton and Truth are global Superstars. Have some fun. This Organisaion still has big potential.. Time to fulfil.
@@nblfallen02 vince wasn't raised to take over. He strong armed his dad to sell him the company. Vince Sr. Never wanted Vince to be in the wrestling business.
You're right about the rest though
@@ralphso5567 never know about that, well I'm a young adult fan
I'm just happy Punk had the chance to patch things up with his friends, and now they all are working together again. Not everyone has that opportunity.
Never understood how AEW could loose a guy like CM Punk. You could utilise his name in so much just by his association to your organization.
This is when AEW officially died
0:44 I’m surprised Stephanie was here backstage that night I thought she quit WWE her job on January 2023 but she’s Triple H’s wife so she can come if she wants.
Publicly she left, but she has actually been the Chief Brand Officer the entire time. Internally it was just a leave of absence, likely because she knew she would come back after getting rid of her dad.
She is always in wwe backstage guys. It just is not her time to talk or get in ring
She’s probably there as his wife
@@MuMasoo She served in that role for a couple of years. They hired a new CMO after she and Khan were promoted to co-CEO. I can't find anything about who fills that role now so I'm led to believe that it's been folded into another division.
EDIT: Looks like it falls under Endeavour CMO Amanda Landsow.
@@demonnamedlex3247yup she’s only sitting their cause the other guy who usually sits their got up to get punk I forget his name
The greatest return in WWE history, long time since CM Punk came back. This will be remembered forever
*Cough* Edge *Cough*
@@The1ArtKing:cough: Edge didn't leave WWE on bad terms :cough:
@@pisto30yeah and I believe Edge did have some appearance before his actual return as well like the therapy segment that he did with Randy while CM Punk have been buried WWE after he been let go and pretty much burn the bride from wrestling for a long time
@@pisto30Edge had a career ending injury we thought we would never see him in the ring again anywhere. When he retired on air it was heartbreaking to us all
7:24 something we waiting 9 years to hear again. Still getting goosebumps. CM Punk. The Best in the World back in WWE. A fever dream right ?
Maaaaaan
9 years and 10 months to be specific
Seeing how Punk being excited and nervous for his return to WWE while have words of encouragement by HHH and Steph. No one thought this say would come. The fact the company and Punk managed to buried the hatchet to the point Punk loves working with WWE shows how much HHH changed the company
It's business One way or another they Always bury the hatchet, look at Brock, Warrior, Hulk Hogan
5:13 Punk: "You're going to point at me?!"
HHH: "Whatever you wanna do!"
Punk: "Can I wear your blazer?"
HHH: "You can even wear my blazer!"
such an surreal timeline in which Cm Punk and the Mcmahons get along. Had anyone told us that like the day Punk left AEW i wouldn't have thought this would be possible.
3:36 he’s looking at him like he is his kid.
Loudest pops in the history of WWE
1. Stone Cold
2. Rock
3. CM Punk
I haven’t been this shocked in decades watching a WWE show. So thankful I got to see this as it was happening.
FASCINATING to see just how legitimately "LAST MINUTE" this all came together! NO REHEARSALS and they are literally giving him direction just minutes before he walks out! I'm happy for Punk that he's now somewhere he's APPRECIATED and not dealing with Middle-School-Elite-Drama. Good to be with Leaders that matter.
I wish they added the bit i've seen floating around with him in a hoodie coming up the freight elevator and them clearing the halls.
And he said he wasted so many matches @ the other "WRESTLING COMPANY"
@@crazyjon101maybe in another documentary
Man... ive been watching weekly since before i could remember. Born in 1993, watching with my mother and continuing the tradition- and loving shawn and hunter all my life. Then CM Punk along with many other names that i love, this was incredible and made me emotional seeing trips and punk hug after all these years. Then all the others he greeted at gorilla.
I love professional wrestling.
This was so cool to watch, he was so nervous backstage but man its great to let it all out & be accepted back home after a period of time at "daycare." Ready for Wargames!!
Don't tell that to Seth "Freakin'" Rollins!!! 😡
I can’t even describe how much i missed this man in wwe for 10 years 😭 hearing cm punk chants even when he wasn’t in wwe, used to bring smile on my face ❤
This still hits so hard. God DAMN, I'm glad he's back!
Punk made it sound so dramatic in that interview lmfaoooo love him
I thought the same thing but he was probably so nervous he didn’t fully remember the moment lol
It was the nerves, everything he described was real to him cause of the nerves
Yeah everything just seems in a rush and chaotic when ur that hyped and full of adrenaline
It's insane how this lines up with how CM punk describes this moment on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast
i can tell how much CM Punk and Triple H have matured.. Once enemies, Now friends.
One of the best wrestling moments ever when that music hits and he walks out . Goosebumps
THAT CM PUNK GLITCH MODE THUNDER !!!
⚡🥶
Randy's reaction is hilarious
I liked Seth’s better
I love the reaction from Randy Orton, just like seeing an old friend..
That and also the hug between Kofi and Punk, wholesome moment
He made comments not too long ago about how he was supposed to go closer to the cage, but it was too loud, so he didn't hear the instructions clearly. It did seem super loud, and the adrenaline in the soul made that seem true watching this. Still, it was perfection.
0:19 punk was breaking the ICE saying “ Where tf do I go?”
No he was genuinely lost he said that on Ice cube’s son podcast 😂
@@EzraDairgorilla is usually a curtain with tale amd here it’s curtains
6:08 “i didn’t know you were gonna be here, you’re a favorite” 🥹
@1:58 Punk thought he was going to walk all the way to the cage😂😂😂
Papa H did say go to the cages lol
@@sebastianpascagaza8011He meant the shark cages. Punk did the right thing.
I've never had so many unskippable ads in an under 10 minute video.
I had none. Looks like you need to get an internet surfer's license because at this point with all the info out there watching ads is a choice
@NoneofYabiz-rx3zi I mean I only watch RUclips on my phone. I don't use computers. What can I use for my phone that I don't have to pay for? I find paying for RUclips to be silly. I would rather deal with ads.
@@miketaylor9544 Really not, ublock origin got you covered on pc and if you're mobile only, then premium is pretty much worth it for the ad free and background play experience
RUclips premium babyyyyy
@@bestintheworld4L yeah not paying for RUclips
This particular moment will always be significant because C.M. Punk has always stood out as a lone wolf, and I adore that about him.
Same here. He stands with his convictions even when no one is on his side. That's what I love about him too and the fact that he's entertaining as hell to watch in that ring, on that microphone, even in commentary. Nobody can touch him.
this makes me so happy man
1 year later and its feels unreal
Thank you for coming back,Punk.
Cannot believe this was a year ago. When WWE itself changed.
Life was fkn crazy when this happened broooooo
6:12 One of the greatest commentary duos ever
This is exactly what he said happened. The dude doesn't lie. Doesn't have a reason to.
CM PUNK CM PUNK CM PUNK
This is a career defining moment for CM Punk. A man synonymous by the chants fans would give, even when the man was nowhere to be seen in any arena at any show, gets one of the biggest pops of 2023 after 10 years of being away from WWE. This truly proves without a shadow of a doubt that ANYTHING is possible within this new era of WWE and professional wrestling as a whole. A year later and I still get goosebumps. My throat still sore and my body still restless. What a night it was and what a time it is to be a wrestling fan.
Feels like yesterday. one of the best survivor series moment. CM Punk is an emotion.
Nice to see that after 13 years, Punk can now feel comfortable shaking Stephanie's hand.
This is wrestling history right here.
This is amazing, it’s great to see more of one of the best returns of the modern era. I remember that night and I couldn’t believe it. Can’t believe it’s been a year already
