CM Punk's shocking return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023 caused shockwaves across the wrestling world, but it was pretty apparent at the time that not everyone was thrilled to see the Second City Saint back in the squared circle.

CM Punk and Seth Rollins had their long-awaited grudge match on the January 6 episode of WWE Raw on Netflix. Punk came out on top in the Netflix debut and during the media scrum that took place following the event, he addressed whether or not he had developed any newfound respect for the multiple-time WWE World Champion.

The trio consisting of Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Rollins were the brainchild of Punk, who felt he needed a group of mercenaries at his disposal. After two years of immense success as a part of one of WWE's most beloved factions, Rollins would turn heel and leave the group, and Punk would leave the company.
