Sean Ross Sapp reported earlier this week that CM Punk was "open to leaving AEW" in late 2022 with a rumored idea being that CM Punk main events night one of WrestleMania 39 against Kevin Owens.
I don't know if there's any fact to that, or if it's one of those rumors made up of whole cloth, but it does feel like a CM Punk kind of thing, to stroll back into WWE and wreck plans for one of the hottest angles in recent history just to make it all about himself.

I wasn’t even thinking about the Endeavor connection. This might be more realistic than some think/thought.

Yes, because I liked and currently miss Punk in WWE, and was sad when he walked out in 2014.
Look, I know this isn't popular. But I literally don't really care about what happened in AEW. I just want to hear Cult of Personality on Raw or Smackdown, and hear him tearing it up on promos in a WWE ring again.

Punk carries around a bag and teases that it's the AEW world title until a month later where he unveils the spinner belt and cuts a meandering promo where he says "IT HAS MY NAME ON IT" five times.

Punk is the Real World Heavyweight Champion after never losing it to Jericho. Ignore that he lost a title shot to Jericho then subsequently won and lost the belt a couple of times after that.

It's like this with me and I voted "meh" originally.
Not all all comparing Punk with Edge, but I've seen the AEW potential Dream Match ups with Edge and a Punk on his game you could do that as well.
Punk vs Reigns Punk vs Lashley Punk vs LA Knight Punk vs or joining Judgement Day Punk vs Styles (but that probably won't happen anyways) Punk vs Waller A 2023/24 feud with Cody might be interesting
All of course fantasy booking but in the end it's whatever if he signs with WWE. I think it's 10% chance.

Does Punk have any allies backstage? It’s documented who dislikes him (there’s a list) but who would welcome him back? I think he gets on with Cena and Bayley likes a lot of his social media stuff (AJ may still be close to some of the women) but all his friends there have either left the company or he’s fallen out with them.
He couldn’t cope in AEW with FTR as his personal cheer squad and guys he came up with like Joe and Danielson there. I think the WWE locker room may be a lonelier place for him.

I hate how this thread has gone from a theoretical "no chance in hell" prospect that everybody laughed at to a legitimate possibility that people are championing.

I think Punk is a lot smarter than we give him credit for. He knows what he’s doing. With endeavor, I think he ends up in wwe. Will he burn out again? Who knows

I’d never champion it but I wouldn’t rule it out either. The company could take a gamble with him. I guess they wait near a year to see if he stays out of the news/trouble.. I mean he’ll undoubtedly get in the HOF one day. It’s employing him as an active wrestler that’s the risky venture.

Don't care about the matches. Punk is trash and he isn't needed. If yall wanna talk about a potential storyline that matters, how about Punk cuts a new pipebomb explaining that he's been the problem the entire time and he's now begun his healing journey. Say that everyone was right and he's the bad guy. At the end of the day if the dude is still trash it doesn't matter who he wrestles. He's still a Glad bag. I'll say one more thing too, Punk ain't gonna be bullying anyone in WWE like he did in AEW. AEW is filled with wrestlers who loved dude, like Punk was their big bro, their hero. He started that revolution that they champion. WWE is different as its being ran by people who were either there when Punk was there and came up with him (Kofi, Miz and Drew), the new guard who Punk was trying to keep down when he was there (Reigns and Rollins) or this new class who only hears what the others have been telling them and see what's happening in AEW but also who have been helped by the current guard (Dom, Priest and others). When Trips is running shit too? Bruh, you ain't bullying anybody. He gotta keep his head down.
I still don't want him back. He's not the same dude. He's a cranky old man trying to get his rocks off in front of hardworking talent who just want to live their dreams.

CM Punk needs therapy, not another wrestling job. So stupid. People never learn.

Yeah as much as I am intrigued about Pubk going back to WWE for the big moment, he’ll never be happy until he talks to a third party, someone outside the business who can help him understand some things about himself that he isn’t aware of, or wont admit. Otherwise it’s gonna be a case of rinse recycle repeat.

Be it work, shoot or a weird combo of the two.
