CM Punk’s return to WWE at Survivor Series in 2023 rocked the wrestling world.
During a recent appearance on the “My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox” podcast, CM Punk said that he misses WWE Hall of Famer and producer Michael Hayes, CM Punk also credits Triple H.
On WWE under Triple H: “Triple H obviously is sitting in the chair and he’s the boss. But one of the aspects that I really love about this brand new WWE that I’ve come back to is…if he’s got a daddy/daughter dance, he’s not at TV. And I find that to be so amazing and brilliant, like ‘Yeah. Go hang out with your kid. Go have those moments. We’ll be fine. We’ll get through.’ But you definitely feel it, and there’s so many people that cast a large shadow that you definitely feel their absence when they’re not on the show.”
On missing Michael Hayes: “Michael Hayes just went down, got a knee surgery. So you know, Freebird’s gone for a while. And I really do feel the impact of him not being around. Now, you can text him. But he’s at home. And him not being there, his presence is missed.”
