WWE feels confident that CM Punk would come to WWE.
CM Punk’s termination from AEW led to questions about his future, including the possibility of a return to WWE. We’ve learned of what some within WWE think. WWE higher ups fully believe that CM Punk would sign with the company if they had interest. In the past year, we’ve heard that Punk had been open to the idea. But WWE sources think the ball is in their court.
As of two weeks ago, nobody within WWE had indicated that CM Punk and the company had talks. In late September, we were told that it appeared there were feelers out between Punk to WWE to see if there was any interest there. One WWE employee as of last month advised someone close to Punk that talking to Vince McMahon directly would have been the best courses of action to secure a return to the company. In the past, we're told Vince McMahon was adamant to Fox that he wasn't interested in bringing Punk back, though Fox had been pushing for it before he went to AEW.
Multiple sources we spoke to near Punk believe would in fact sign with WWE.
There is still a ton of heat on CM Punk in WWE, with plenty of it stemming from his last run almost ten years ago. Sources familiar with the situation believe that many of them would be consulted in the event Punk would return to WWE, as to prevent anything similar to what happened multiple times in All Elite Wrestling.
