CM Punk in talks to return to the ring
From Fightful:

https://www.patreon.com/posts/53950829

Quote:
One of the biggest stars of wrestling in this century could be headed back to wrestling, if all goes well. CM Punk has been in ongoing talks for a return, sources tell Fightful.

Fightful Select learned last week that CM Punk has been in talks to make a return to pro wrestling as an in-ring performer, with sources indicating that AEW is the most likely landing point. We have no confirmation of a contract officially being signed, a timetable, a set return date, or any creative plans, only that Punk and a company official have had ongoing conversations about an in-ring return.

As with any negotiations, nothing is ever fully confirmed until the deal is actually done and the subject appears on screen.

We have heard of other companies having interest in Punk coming in to work after fans returned, but have not heard of any specific offers or overtures made towards him.

Fightful has not officially confirmed this report with CM Punk himself or All Elite Wrestling officials. We have been told in recent days that higher ups in WWE believe that Punk is headed to AEW.

Punk last wrestled in January 2014 for WWE, and was released later that year. In the years that followed, he pursued a career in mixed martial arts in the UFC, where he officially has an 0-1 record with 1 no contest. In addition to MMA, Punk has worked in commentary roles within the sport, and made his way into acting. He also appeared on WWE Backstage for approximately six months. Aside from his appearances on Backstage, he's only made two appearances in wrestling since leaving WWE -- both in very anonymous masked roles on the independent circuit.

Raw is in Chicago on August 2nd.

Would rather see him in AEW but would still be a hilarious swerve.

I would much rather see him in WWE, because him going back there would certainly mean WWE might finally be willing to make an actual effort to get better. No WAY they would bring in Punk otherwise, because he would certainly not just sit by while they did cruise control no effort shows.

If nothing has done it in the past 20 years, I don’t think CM Punk is the thing to push them. Also apparently getting better is actually BAD for business for reasons.

The same company that couldn’t get Brock’s year long run of dominance right isn’t going to suddenly figure out how to properly use a returning star who will have the wrestling world buzzing.

At this point the only way anything with WWE changes is if they reboot from the top down, starting with Vince. So long as he’s there, nothing about the company’s presentation and creative approach will change.

I’ll be excited for his return in either company as I’d assume he’ll have some creative control over who he’s working with and the direction of their story and character. Ideally it’s AEW because there’s nearly an entire roster I’ve never seen him work with but I’ll be content if it’s WWE.

Punk's said on a few podcasts in the past year that if he were ever going to return to the ring he'd need two things...1 a bunch of money (duh) and 2 the ability to work with people he's never worked with

Specifically mentioned already having worked with most of the top guys at WWE, whereas AEW has Jericho and Mox but otherwise a bunch of people he's never been in the ring with.

So yeah, creatively I think AEW would be a better fit for him. Hope it actually happens bit I'll believe it when I see it.

AEW could also provide him the opportunity to work in other promotions. He could go to impact, new Japan and Mexico to work with other talents they’re, whereas in WWE he’s stuck between the main roster and nxt.

I don't buy that argument. If he wanted to work New Japan or Mexico or ROH or whatever he would have already.

I said it already from my standpoint, but from Punk's, I would have to believe he would take great pleasure in forcing Vince to give him a deal where Vince has to give a bunch of extra benefits. Punk sticking it to Vince just to spite him would be a great Fuck You.

Hopefully he actually does show up on All Out... feel like now it will be a disappointment if he doesn't since people are expecting it

Imagining "CM Punk" chants during the show

Doesn’t matter. He’ll be a comedy act in AEW trading barbs with Cody Rhodes. No one can really help the WWE.

I hope he goes to ROH, personally. At least they stand to gain something. Get Bryan Danielson in there as well. Might get ROH to #2.

Someone needs to bring back Mick Foley's anti hardcore gimmick from ECW where the crowd is expecting violence but Mick just keeps doing side headlocks. It was brilliant.

Neon lights, a Nobel Prize
Then a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you still you love me

If he comes close to signing with AEW, he’s a game-changer and one of the biggest stars of the past decade. If he passes on them, he’s a bitter, old egomaniac who probably can’t wrestle anymore and wants too much money anyway. That’s how it’s been since All Out 2019.

Him losing in the UFC also hurt, because kayfabe.

I never had an issue with him. He'd be times more exciting than anyone else on TV right now.

The general internet opinion on Punk went from "good on him for leaving when he was unhappy", "good on him for pursuing his other goals" etc to "wow he trained for 2 years only to lose in 2 minutes, shouldn't have quit his day job"

The WWE doctor lawsuit also soured people on him. Not that Punk was in the wrong for any of that but after it was done Punk and Colt Cabana's friendship disintegrated over legal fees which was a bit upsetting as they'd been best friends for 15 years.

It got to the point where Punk chants started at a Chicago indy show before the All In PPV and they immediately got booed, whereas Colt then got a hero's welcome at the PPV.

Apparently Punk signed with AEW this morning. I wish that he and DB would have been kept under wraps but either way, super exciting news. Now AEW is officially the number one company in the world, blowing WWE and Roman Reigns out of the water.

They’ve got a very similar problem to the WWE, where they cap themselves with bad content that makes whatever good you drop in irrelevant. You’re not replacing anyone with Punk and Bryan. You’re basically just wasting whatever time they might have left on their careers.
