Is CM Punk Coming Back to WWE?

Is CM Punk coming back to WWE? That’s the question on many fans’ minds after Punk’s recent interview with Colt Cabana. Here’s what we know so far.

Introduction

There has been a lot of speculation lately about whether CM Punk will make a return to WWE. Punk left the company back in 2014 and has since gone on to pursue a career in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).

However, there have been several recent indications that Punk may be open to a return to WWE. In an interview with MMAFighting.com, Punk said that he would “never say never” when asked if he would consider returning to WWE.

Punk also made a surprise appearance at the 2017 Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2), where he was interviewed by wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer. During the interview, Punk hinted that he might be interested in returning to WWE if the “right circumstances” presented themselves.

Finally, Punk was recently spotted at a WWE live event in Chicago, further fueling speculation that he might be considering a return to the company.

At this point, it’s impossible to say for sure whether Punk will actually make a return to WWE. However, it seems clear that he is at least open to the idea, and we could see him back in a WWE ring sooner rather than later.

Why Punk Left WWE

On January 27, 2014, WWE superstar CM Punk walked out of the company, leaving many fans wondering why. Punk has cited many reasons for his departure, including creative differences, burnout, and disrespect from WWE management. Punk has said that he has no plans to return to WWE, but many fans are still holding out hope.

Money

In June 2014, Punk left WWE suddenly, just days before he was scheduled to appear at that year’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view. In the months that followed, Punk (real name Phil Brooks) made it clear that he had no interest in ever returning to WWE, and given the events of the past year, it’s easy to see why.

Punk has been vocal about his displeasure with WWE’s creative direction, saying that he was “bored” with his character and that he was “fed up” with WWE’s writing team. He has also been critical of WWE’s treatment of its talent, particularly when it comes to health and safety. In November 2014, Punk appeared on Colt Cabana’s Art of Wrestling podcast and spoke candidly about his time in WWE, including a story about how he was injured during a match with Brock Lesnar and was given no medical attention by WWE officials.

Creative Differences

Punk’s final straw with WWE came down to creative differences. He was reportedly frustrated with the way his character was being used and felt that he wasn’t being given the opportunities he deserved. Punk had a meeting with Vince McMahon in January 2014 to try and work things out, but it was unsuccessful. Punk left WWE shortly after that meeting.

Punk’s Return to WWE Rumors

It’s been almost six years since CM Punk walked out of WWE, and fans have been clamoring for his return ever since. There have been many rumors of Punk’s return, but nothing has ever come to fruition. Punk himself has said that he has no interest in returning to WWE, but the rumors continue to circulate. Let’s take a look at some of the most recent rumors.

The Royal Rumble

As the Road to WrestleMania begins, all eyes are on the Royal Rumble. The annual event is one of the most popular and highly anticipated matches of the year, and this year’s Rumor has it that CM Punk could be making a return to WWE.

Punk has been absent from WWE since 2014, but there have been increasing rumors that he could make a triumphant return at the Royal Rumble. If Punk were to enter the Royal Rumble match, it would mark his first wrestling appearance in nearly five years.

While Punk has not officially confirmed or denied any rumors, many fans are hopeful that he will make a return to WWE at the Royal Rumble. Only time will tell if Punk will make his way back to WWE, but one thing is for sure – the Royal Rumble is sure to be an event to remember.

WrestleMania

As the WWE Universe eagerly awaits WrestleMania 34, rumors have been circulating that one of its most famous Superstars could make a return to the ring. CM Punk, who left WWE in 2014 amid much speculation and controversy, has been linked to a possible return at this year’s Show of Shows.

While Punk has not given any indication that he is interested in returning to WWE, his name has been floated as a potential opponent for John Cena at WrestleMania. The rumor began when a fan asked Punk if he would be interested in facing Cena at this year’s event, to which Punk replied, “Never say never.”

Of course, this is far from confirmation that Punk will be returning to WWE, but it has led to much speculation among fans that he could make a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 34. Only time will tell if Punk makes his much-anticipated return to WWE.
