CM Punk On WWE RAW – So Far, So Good
Punk’s promo during the November 27th edition of RAW was heartfelt and had an overall good feeling to it. Whether you are a fan of the Straight Edge Superstar or not, he did not skip a beat while on the mic, at all.
According to PWTorch’s Wade Keller, he started the night off with a bang, backstage. It seems as if the former WWE Champion was “humble” and “very nice” all throughout the night, off camera.
The report also notes that Punk was in a good mood. He attempted to approach pretty much everyone.
One talent states that Punk knew he needed to be humble because of the past relationship issues he had with the WWE. Not to mention the controversies that followed in All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
The report states everything was positive all around. Still, another talent was quick to note that “we shall see” if this all “sticks” in the next couple of months.

Will It Stay This Way?
The report also states that approximately half of the talent isn’t sure if the wrestling star’s friendliness is who he is or if it’ll even remain this way. That’s unclear at this point, but based on first impressions, Punk set a positive tone for moving forward.
The former WWE Champion was quick to say during last night’s promo that he’s changed. He also relayed that he was “home”.
It’s very possible that he’s learned his lesson from past scandals and he’s ready for a new chapter. It’ll be interesting to see what he does in this next WWE run.
