>>12300107Other Reports: BWE and other reports / reporters have expressed that Punk has signed or that WWE was/is in negotiations with CM Punk. Personally, the media outlets who have reported Punk is returning are not as credible or reliable - but they should not be ignored or disregarded.
Instagram: Punk has posted cryptic comic panels on instagram without context. There are themes and patterns that are identifiable such as; reluctant villains making difficult choices for the greater good. However, without context it is impossible to be confident that these posts are meaningful within the context of this situation.
Punk and his MMA commentary partner have made silly (but) direct references to WWE and Impact, Punk even stated he would be busy for a couple of months in September.
CM Punk may be generating buzz for himself through social media (Instagram) and his MMA commentary career to garner interest in his return to WWE. Fans cheered for Punk to return for years prior to his return - Punk may be trying to put WWE in a position where WWE must meet the reinvigorated demand from fans for a Punk return in his hometown in order to avoid losing the goodwill that has been built since Vince stepped down/was removed from creative.
