Shane Helms on CM Punk's WWE comeback and attitude since returning
One of the biggest pro wrestling stories in recent times was the return of CM Punk to WWE. The polarizing superstar returned last November after walking out of the company in 2014.
Punk's return shocked just about everyone within the company, and fans around the world. There was social media speculation on Punk's past problems becoming an issue again, but all internal feedback has been nothing but positive.
Speaking to Jonathan Coachman on Behind The Turnbuckle, WWE producer Shane Helms said the former AEW World Champion has been a pleasure to work with.
"In terms of feeling backstage, he [CM Punk] has been a pleasure ever since he's been back, you know? And I never had no problems with him to begin with. So, I'm not surprised that he's been a pleasure with me, but I haven't heard of anything bad either," Shane Helms said.
Helms went on to discuss the internal reactions to Punk's WWE return. He also looked back on how people change the way they feel about others over the years.
