CM Punk isnt holding back when it comes to sharing what went down after his jaw-dropping WWE comeback at Survivor Series 2023. The Second City Saint recently took to Instagram to reveal a private text from none other than WWE legend Steve Austin, who couldnt help but praise Punks epic return.
Punk posted a screenshot of Austins message, which read, Goddam. That was a f monster pop. Maybe the loudest Ive ever heard. Awesome. The text highlighted the deafening reaction Punk received as he stepped back into the WWE spotlight after a decade away. The moment has since been cemented as one of the loudest and most memorable crowd reactions in wrestling history.
Their exchange didnt end there. Punk had previously shared a lighthearted post featuring a photo of Austin on a WWE production truck, hinting at their mutual respect and friendly banter. Austins text, however, took things to another level, acknowledging the undeniable impact of Punks return on the industry.
As Punk reflected on the one-year anniversary of his return, he posted another iconic image: Seth Rollins flipping him the bird during last years Survivor Series. The photo perfectly captured the chaos and intensity of that night, reminding fans of the unmatched energy Punk brought back to WWE.
