Fans hoping to see CM Punk back in WWE may get their wish granted now that Punk is a free agent following his AEW release.
As previously reported, Punk was interested in returning last December with the idea of working the Royal Rumble the following month before working WrestleMania 39.
Shawn Michaels publicly talked about being open to having Punk in NXT if he wished.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that Punk and WWE are in talks to see him make a return, although a deal hasn’t been reached.
Meltzer wrote, “There have been rumors that it’s happening, but those in WWE have only said that no deal is completed and those close to Punk have told us that it is his intention to return and the two sides are in talks. One would expect if such a deal is made that Survivor Series weekend in Chicago would be the time to do the surprise return”
