Not everyone was surprised by CM Punk’s return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023.

Chris Jericho wasn’t.

During a recent “INSIGHT With Chris Van Vliet” interview, the AEW star was asked if he was surprised to see “The Best in the World” return to WWE despite all of their history.

“I mean it doesn’t surprise me,” Jericho said. “I mean it’s the Vince attitude like if you can make money with somebody then you bring them back. He brought back the nWo, he brought Bischoff in.”

He continued, “Yeah, and Vince isn’t in charge. But Triple H learned from Vince once again and the fans, keeping the fans entertained and happy man look, he came back and it was the highest viewed social media segment that they’ve ever had. So once right out of the gate, it was a benefit to them. So it didn’t surprise me.”
