More Backstage News on CM Punk Possible Return to WWE – There have been significant developments regarding the possibility of CM Punk returning to WWE. Earlier today, reports from Haus Of Wrestling earlier suggested that there’s a “safe bet” that CM Punk might make a grand return to WWE at Survivor Series, which is set to take place in his hometown of Chicago. However, it’s important to note that no confirmation had been provided at that point.

Also, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that talks between CM Punk and WWE are indeed taking place, but the progress remains unconfirmed.

A recent update from Fightful Select sheds more light on the situation.

• WWE higher-ups reportedly believe that Punk would return to the company if they made an offer. This suggests that the decision lies with WWE on whether to bring him in, which aligns with previous reports indicating Punk’s interest in returning.
• As of two weeks ago, there had been no indication within WWE that they had been in talks with Punk. However, feelers were put out back in September. It is mentioned that one employee advised Team Punk to reach out to Vince McMahon to potentially address past issues that led to Punk’s public departure from WWE in 2014.
• Punk still reportedly has heat within WWE for comments he made about the company over the past ten years. WWE would likely take precautions to ensure that he doesn’t repeat any backstage actions that occurred during his time in AEW.
• Some top WWE stars have expressed their views on Punk’s potential return. One star said that if Punk tried anything similar to what he did in AEW, he would face consequences. Another top star doesn’t believe Triple H would bring in the negativity that Punk brings but acknowledges that controversial names have been brought in before.
• It is suggested that Punk would need to mend fences, including with wrestlers like Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, who have publicly expressed their dislike for him.
• An AEW star reportedly mentioned that, before the Brawl Out incident (a segment involving Punk in AEW), Punk would still express his dislike for WWE, Triple H, and Vince McMahon.
• As of now, WWE creative has not been informed about Punk’s potential return, and any apparent teases on television, such as the “Best In The World” line from Raw, are said to be coincidental.

These developments indicate that while talks between CM Punk and WWE are ongoing, there are several factors, including past issues and the sentiments of current WWE talent, that could affect the outcome of any potential return.
