CM Punk’s possible return to WWE: Rumors, disciplinary issues, and Survivor Series 2023 speculation

NEW DELHI: Ever since AEW parted ways with CM Punk, the world of professional wrestling has been abuzz with wild speculations and rumors regarding the former WWE Champion’s next move.

As a proven crowd-puller, Punk’s name has been linked to various promotions, but the burning question on everyone’s mind is whether he’s poised to make a return to WWE, where he once enjoyed unparalleled fame. The focus intensifies as Survivor Series 2023 approaches – could this be the stage for CM Punk’s comeback?

Punk’s Disciplinary Issues with AEW

The journey toward this moment began in September 2022 when CM Punk found himself embroiled in controversy within the AEW roster. An altercation with Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks resulted in Punk’s suspension. Fast forward to September 2023, another backstage altercation, this time with Jack Perry, led to his release from the company.

Upon Punk’s release, speculation ran rife about a potential return to WWE, given his history with the company. It seemed plausible, considering Triple H’s known commitment to what’s best for business. However, recent updates suggest that WWE may not be as eager to welcome Punk back into its fold.

CM Punk’s Survivor Series 2023 Comeback Speculation

With this year’s Survivor Series set to unfold at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, just northwest of Chicago and Punk’s hometown, fans are naturally anticipating a surprise return. However, Fightful’s sources have provided a conflicting narrative, stating that WWE has maintained a firm stance against signing a deal with CM Punk.

Despite Punk’s undeniable ability to draw crowds, WWE reportedly remains uninterested, and speculations abound regarding the possible reasons. One significant factor could be the controversies surrounding Punk during his tenure with AEW, which garnered negative attention for Tony Khan’s pro-wrestling promotion.

The Unpredictable WWE Factor

In the unpredictable world of professional wrestling, where surprises are the norm, fans are left with a glimmer of hope. While current reports suggest WWE’s reluctance to ink a deal with CM Punk, the company has a history of delivering shocking returns. As Survivor Series 2023 looms, wrestling enthusiasts worldwide will be on the edge of their seats, wondering if the former champion will defy the odds and stage a triumphant comeback to the WWE ring.
