10 Best Kept Secrets In Wrestling History

It still feels rather surreal to be living in a world where this 'Chick Magnet' is once again strutting around Monday Night Raw with a potential pipe bomb in his back pocket.

But, after arguably the best kept wrestling secret of all time, it actually happened.

After months of speculation and many a report debunking the idea of CM Punk making a shocking return to WWE, the unthinkable became a deafening reality inside of the Allstate Arena in 2023.

This wasn't a case of simply lying about what was on the horizon for months, though. It was reported that WWE and Punk only made a deal together around ten days or so before Survivor Series, with the wise decision then being made to keep the whole thing a secret heading into the WarGames show.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer even noted how certain TKO Group executives weren't told about the incoming 'Best in the World', with the folks in the WarGames main event being among the few who actually knew Punk was in the building, and this genuinely shocking return being kept from "almost everyone."

All this secrecy resulted in a noise unlike anything you're ever likely to hear again as the Punker shocked the world one more time in Chicago.
