Shawn Spears reveals CM Punk was responsible for his WWE return in 2013

Shawn Spears made his WWE debut in 2006 and was released on January 9, 2009. He again signed with the Stamford-based promotion in 2013. Spears then left the company on February 22, 2019, to finally join AEW in 2019.

While speaking with Wrestling is Life is Wrestling, the 42-year-old star talked about how CM Punk impacted his 2013 return.

"An opportunity came up to for another tryout and the only reason I got that was because CM Punk, who was the world champion at the time, put my name [on a list]. He was asked for 10 guys on the indies who he thought should be signed and he put my name on that list," said Shawn Spears.

He continued:

"I didn’t get back into that tryout because I’d been killing it on the indies. I was just pretty much primarily working in Canada. I wasn’t making waves anywhere else. I didn’t work for any other companies. I got back there because the connections and context I had made my first time around [with guys like CM Punk].”
