Real Reason CM Punk Showed Up Backstage on WWE Raw for the First Time Since Walking Out in 2014 Revealed

Punk’s highly anticipated return to wrestling at the AEW All Out in Chicago on September 5, 2021, was a massive moment for the wrestling industry. Even now he continues to make the headlines, whether for his excellent matches or controversial actions. Until now, CM Punk was causing a stir behind the scenes at AEW, but now, WWE is on the receiving end of some of Punk’s antics.

As you know already, Punk visited his former company after almost nine years. He talked to Triple H backstage for a while and then was asked to leave due to Vince McMahon’s orders. But we never figured out what was the real reason for Punk’s arrival in WWE was, that is until now.

Arriving in Raw ever since his exit from the company in 2014 might have been for various reasons, but we don’t know any of them. Except for one of them. Apparently, as PWInsider reported, before leaving the building according to McMahon’s orders, Punk was able to meet with The Miz. It was also reported that the two met for a brief while, but they cleared the air between them during that time.

This is surprising, as fans are not familiar with the concept of apologizing or settling his differences with other wrestlers.
