On a recent edition of his “Oh You Didn’t Know” podcast, WWE’s Senior Vice President of Live Events, Brian “Road Dogg” James discussed CM Punk returning to WWE at Survivor Series 2023, Punk being a needle mover, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if he had any idea CM Punk was going to return: “I had zero [idea he was coming back] all the way up until his music. That’s just the truth of it.”
On Punk’s return moving the needle: “Yeah, the needle has moved. I don’t know, to me, it’s just more of the same awesome ever since Hunter’s been in charge of creative content. It’s just one more thing that was just like, you wanna be the best? This is how you do it. You know what I mean? Super cool to be involved, but not so involved that I still am surprised when the music hits and you go, ‘Oh my god.’ So it was super cool to see all that. Then of course, from a business standpoint, business is booming, and his addition to the roster is only gonna help that.”
