WWE Survivor Series 2019: 5 things that need to happen
By Mark Justice
1. CM Punk Returns
CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! This chant is undoubtedly the greatest chant in WWE history. During CM Punk’s eight year career in the WWE, the fans chanted his name in admiration for his fancy pro wrestling skills, remarkable mic work, and relatable persona.
During his five-year absence, the fans chanted his name whenever the product was dreadful to watch in order to convey how much they missed the one superstar who revolutionized pro wrestling in the WWE.
Punk said, “It’s as simple as this. Just when they think they’ve got the answers, I change the culture.” Indeed, CM Punk changes the culture and his fans live the revolution. This quote was directly orated by him in his shocking debut on WWE Backstage, a show hosted by Fox Sports that covers all of the biggest stories in the WWE.
Now, this is not necessarily an official return to the WWE. He is, in fact, allegedly working for Fox Sports and not WWE at this moment in time. Many will be excited to witness his candid insight on the WWE product, but the inner ‘mark’ in the WWE fanbase will never count out a CM Punk return to the WWE ring, especially since Survivor Series is conveniently in CM Punk’s hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
Although CM Punk’s debut on WWE Backstage was exhilarating, the fans need to hear that huge crowd reaction in the WWE arena.
Besides, there is absolutely no way WWE can get past Survivor Series in Chicago unscathed without CM Punk chants hijacking the show.
Chicago’s prodigal son, CM Punk, has made a lasting impact on the WWE Universe for plenty of years, and all the fans need is his presence. He doesn’t need to wrestle, and he doesn’t even need to deliver a pipe bomb promo.
At Survivor Series, a CM Punk return needs to happen and it would be the best WWE return in the world.
