At the closing moment of Monday Night Raw, WWE pulled out the card that everyone was waiting for, a perked-up CM Punk. The Best in The World appeared in the weekly shows for the first time after his grand Survivor Series return and caught everyone out there off guard with a dazzling promo.
Besides being elated about Punk’s WWE comeback, some fans wondered why he even considered a second WWE run after almost a decade. The Voice of the Voiceless shut all of their curiosity down with an untwisted answer.

He started by how homely he has been feeling since Survivor Series and acknowledged his millions of fans who never forgot him in the past ten years of absence.
It was followed by a massive heel-turn hint of the Second City Saint when he mentioned that everyone should be scared of him as he’s been the most dangerous one to ever step into the WWE ring.
He finally wrapped the promo by turning toward the camera and conveying a concise message. The Chicago based wrestler said, ‘I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to make money.”
