The last time CM Punk appeared at a professional wrestling live event was at AEW All In 2023, where he got into a backstage altercation leading to his dismissal from the company. With Punk a free agent, fans speculated whether Punk would find his way back to WWE. After all, Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 was taking place in his hometown, Chicago, Ill.

At the conclusion of Survivor Series, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso celebrated their victory over The Judgment Day (Damian Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh) and Drew McIntyre in a WarGames match. Just as the broadcast was seemingly going off air, "Cult of Personality" by In Living Color blared over the speakers at Allstate Arena. Punk would make his way down the stage to a thunderous reaction from the fans in attendance.

Take a look for yourselves.
