CM Punk made a surprise return at the end of Survivor Series, marking his first time back in WWE since 2014. PWInsider.com has more details on the return, including how it was set up. Punk’s new deal with WWE is said to have come together this week, which is when the two sides began speaking. The deal is believed to be for multiple years and will see Punk wrestle. Punk signed the deal today, which is said to be seen as a new beginning for both sides.

Well this should be big. Check out the return and some of the reaction:

Opinion: This is quite the change of pace and now we get to see where things are going from here. That is where everything is going to go nuts, as there is always the chance that it could all blow up in their faces. At the same time, Punk could be a heck of an addition to WWE, especially if everything stays together behind the scenes. They’re off to a good start here and I’m curious to see how it goes from here.
