Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently took to an episode of his โ€œHall Of Fameโ€ podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how he told the fans chanting for CM Punk at Survivor Series to quiet down because he didn’t know Punk was going to show up.

Booker T said, โ€œOf course, people were talking about, โ€˜do we think itโ€™s going to happen? Is he here?โ€™ For me, I didnโ€™t put a whole lot of thought into it. If he showed up, he showed up. If he didnโ€™t, he didnโ€™t. The contingency outside the Allstate Arena, it was โ€˜CM Punk, CM Punk,โ€™ they were all about it. At one point, off the air, the fans were chanting โ€˜CM Punk,โ€™ so loud, I turned around and said, โ€˜Guys, quiet down. Quiet down.โ€™ Everyone got silent. I told them, โ€˜CM Punk is not here tonight.โ€™ [laughs]. I started laughing like crazy. I didnโ€™t know he was going to show up.โ€
