CM Punk’s Current Talks with WWE: Where Do Things Stand

CM Punk was fired from AEW, and it didn’t take long for WWE rumors to start circulating. Although there seems to be legit interest from Impact Wrestling, we have not heard the same sentiment from WWE at all.

Shinsuke Nakamura popped off a GTS move on Ricochet during WWE RAW this week. Ringside News exclusively reported the reason behind that move.

A story circulated last week suggesting that CM Punk is interested in returning to WWE, and sources close to him have indicated ongoing discussions between the parties. While the story generated considerable attention, there is no definitive confirmation of his return.

Reports of CM Punk wanting to make a WWE return are making the rounds. Plenty of fans are seeing clues, real or imaginary, on the company’s television shows that Punk will return. Fans who believe that are not hearing both sides of the story.

Ringside News exclusively reported that CM Punk wants to create an impression of interest from WWE as he desires to make comeback. He reached out to assess interest, although it has not been reciprocated thus far.

After reaching out to re-confirm this situation, Ringside News was told that nothing has changed in this situation between CM Punk and WWE. There are no “talks” about his return to the company. There is no plan to use him, and he is not booked for Survivor Series in Chicago.

Ringside News exclusively reported that WWE already has a WarGames match booked for Survivor Series in Chicago on November 25th. They will have a star-studded card, and plenty of reasons to sell out the Allstate Arena, so the company really doesn’t need CM Punk.

As Eric Bischoff noted, CM Punk offers no added value to WWE at this point. His return to the company might pop a bit of interest, but they don’t need him during this current booming period in the company’s history.
