Survivor series, which is in Chicago is in 2 months. Either they are keeping shit in wraps or Punk thinks that he’s going to be there but wwe disagrees HE'S RETURNING TO UFC!

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities that they bring him back. Vince still has power. He brought back Warrior, Hogan, and more. I wouldn't be shocked to see the take a gamble with him short term and just see how it goes. Warrior and Hogan didn't get into multiple fights backstage, granted there were lots of fights back in the day, but those two, Hogan especially avoided physical confrontation. They also never physically went after Vince. And as popular as Punk may be he isn't in the same galaxy as Hogan when it comes to being a draw. Yes Vince brought them back, but that was a long time ago, and you'd be bringing in a guy who your top 2 stars have publicly said they hated. And that's not even getting into Sami, Owens, and AJ. I hope they don't bring him in. For real. You can basically say a lot with Hogan and Warrior, but as far as I know, they never started any physical confrontations backstage or even shooting on the air.

Pre-AEW Punk would have been the biggest possible get but today I don't think WWE need him at all.

Two things… First… Second… The only sources saying something may be happening are “Those close to Punk”? Right, OK. That ain’t confirmation of shit.

I really wonder who's "those close to Punk" because these dudes been causing chaos in the industry.

I'll believe it when I see it, to be honest.
Especially since, like, WWE doesn't really need Punk. They'd be better off just giving Drew and Sheamus what they want and keeping them, really.

Well, CM Punk would technically be a 'source close to CM Punk'

I’ve been saying IF they bring back Punk it will probably be for merch and likeness rights for video games and all that It may trickle down to an eventual match but his worth is merch if you want to go that route

But as someone who was in the crowd at All Out, that was decidedly not a pro-Punk crowd in any way, shape, or form. The Chicago wrestling fanbase is as sick of his bullshit as everyone else, really. Anyway, I am 90% certain he's going to come back to WWE at this point. With all of the reports of WWE wanting to sign all of AEW's 2024 expiring contracts, WWE stacking this week's NXT show, etc...it feels like WWE is kind of in "go for the jugular" mode right now re: AEW, and signing Punk would definitely fall into that category under the circumstances.

I barely watch the main roster as is if Punk comes back that will dwindle to zero. He’s Russo levels of worked shoot BS anymore. Just who the f*** even cares?

What about him being “sick and tired about the place that made him sick and tired?”

My uncle who works at CM Punk says that Punk is close to signing to WWE.

If he comes back humbled and like a normal human being, I think he's actually a pretty valuable asset for the wrestling and the merch. If he's just going to pull the same shit he pulled in AEW, stay the f*** away.
My sneaking suspicion is he's probably a little more game to play ball, but we'll see.

Right, because now he’d NEED to play ball to try and have ANY chance of having any sort of lasting legacy in wrestling that isn’t that of a cantankerous irritable headcase. And it would mean compromising the only part of his credibility that still holds up, the fact that he WAS taken for granted by WWE, was willing to stand up for himself against them and walked away when he wasn’t happy with what he was getting. And that could all be gone, because he blew it when he was getting everything he wanted.
