We know what Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins thought of CM Punk's surprise return to WWE, sort of, but what did Cody Rhodes think?
"The American Nightmare" addressed the surprise return of "The Best in the World" at the conclusion of the WWE Survivor Series 2023 premium live event on Saturday night during the post-show press conference.
"I don’t want to be short with my response, but it truly is this," Rhodes began. "If he can help with where we’re going and what we’re doing, absolutely. Welcome aboard. I have a feeling that the CM Punk that potentially we’re getting is hungry, and that’s the best. That’s the best. When someone is hungry and someone wants it. That’s when it’s real."
Rhodes continued, "I’ll give kudos and flowers to Triple H and Nick Khan for getting that done. You can ask all the boys and girls until they are blue in the face, ‘How do you feel?’ You might get up, you might get down, you might have a wide range of emotions, but the first thing, always, is business. We’re doing record business. It feels like everybody wants to be here. The more the merrier. If you can help, absolutely, come on board."
