CM Punk shocked the world in November when he came back to WWE after unexpectedly leaving in 2014. It was a memorable night for the fans, as they never thought the Best in the World would return. Speaking about his comeback, Punk talked about the biggest concern he had prior to returning to WWE.
In an interview with Denise Salcedo, the Second City Saint said that his biggest concern was whether the fans were going to remember him or not. He was conflicted about whether his return was going to be a major talking point at this point or if it was going to lose its relevance.
"I'm not sure I had a whole lot of concerns outside, 'Are the people going to remember me?' And that sounds ridiculous but as somebody who's in the public spotlight constantly, I think that's just one of those things. As a performer, you always have that voice in the back of your head that's like, 'Are they going to remember, is this going to be a thing?'CM Punk on his return
