As PWMania.com previously reported, while still working for AEW, CM Punk reportedly expressed interest in a WWE return.
Regarding Punk’s firing from AEW, there is said to be a mixed reaction from people (including top talent) within WWE. Punk was reportedly “an immediate topic of discussion.”
PWInsider.com reported the following about the possibility of Punk returning to WWE: “There were some who were adamantly against the idea and didn’t believe it could happen but others who looked at it as a ‘chance to make big money.’ We know of one top tier star who was all for it, but it wouldn’t be their call.”
