CM Punk’s Groundbreaking Return At Survivor Series WarGames Was Reportedly a Well-Kept Secret Unbeknownst To The WWE Creative

The months-long speciation and anticipation have finally been put to rest and in the best possible way. Yes, The Best in The World is back home and the 17,000 present in the audience gave him a deafening reception at the dying hour of the stellar Survivor Series PLE. The last few minutes of the show were indeed what we all needed.

While WWE rightly capitalized on the momentum of their several teases throughout the last few months, it has been reported that they were not lying either when they dismissed the notion outright.

CM Punk’s return plan was a covert call by Triple H 

Previously, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE higher-ups aren’t seeing any chance of Punk being back on the roster anytime soon. Meltzer noted it could still be possible only if it was a top-secret call. And he proved to be right. It was.

According to the latest report, CM Punk only had hours of talks with Triple H regarding his return plan. Moreover, it was kept hidden from the rest of the creative team.
