As @Chris said, I’ll believe it when I see it.

Punk returns have been rumored forever, with unsubstantiated insider claims.

Expect nothing.

You'd think he's hurt some people personally with this kind of fervent slander

CM Punk wouldn't put up with WWE's bullshit anymore, is enjoying his life doing what he wants to do. Not sure why people are so angry at this guy.

There isn't much that moves the needle these days, this guy would do it. With returns of Edge, Goldberg, Christian they all get nostalgia pops. I put CM Punk more into the category of E&C considering he's been MMA training for years (apparently poorly, but still he has been training.) He should clearly be able to still go like those 2.

They'd have to get their heads out of WWE's ass to breathe for a second and enjoy other wrestling? :jade

Him being 42 wasn't the point guys. :smh

My point was his long absence from the business or doing anything remotely related to it. Sting was still *in* the business, Edge and Christian were still *in* the business. Punk hasn't been involved in wrestling period for a long fucking time. :kawhi

They were retired, how were they "in the business" lol? They did a few network shows but neither man was really wrestling. Also Edge and Christian prove you can come back after a long lay off. Hell HBK too in the past.

Tbf SRS is a lot more legit than random fan rumors. Guy checks and checks his stories before releasing them. He is very reliable so this is a lot more worthy listening too this time.

However yeah I will wait and see as it says they are talks. Talks could break down etc.

Yeah he just did a fulll hour QA about it lol. But insists it obviously just talks and that the story was going to break anyways. Still, he was right on all the releases, and on Black and Zelina...: :moneymark
