Punk’s Departure: What’s Next for CM Punk?
A Cryptic Hint at a Potential Return
Following his departure from AEW after backstage altercations, the wrestling world is abuzz with speculation about CM Punk’s next move. Will he retire or join another promotion like WWE? Recent comments from Punk have sparked even more curiosity, as he hinted at having “time on his hands for the next two months.” This cryptic statement alludes to a potential return to wrestling.
Punk made this comment while working as part of the announce team for Cage Fury Fighting Championships at CFFC 125. When his broadcast partner jokingly asked if he had any free time, Punk responded by saying, “Yea, I got some time on my hands. For the next two months.” While it’s not entirely clear what exactly he meant, this timeframe could provide a clue to his next move.
Possible WWE Return?
Survivor Series, scheduled for November 25, aligns with Punk’s two-month timeframe and also happens to take place in his hometown of Chicago. If he were to return to WWE, the audience reaction in Chicago would make Survivor Series the perfect stage for his comeback.
However, it’s worth noting that WWE’s response to Punk’s potential return has been rather vague. When asked about Punk, WWE President Nick Khan expressed respect for him and wished him the best. This response leaves open the question of whether WWE is truly interested in bringing Punk back.
Staying in the Spotlight
CM Punk has always known how to capture the attention of wrestling fans and stay in their minds. Even during his years away from WWE, fans continued to chant his name in Chicago and other cities where he has a dedicated following. His return to AEW in 2021 was a major event, and dropping hints like his recent comment during an MMA show is a classic Punk move.
If fans indeed want to see Punk back in WWE, it’s likely that the company would at least consider the idea. Punk’s ability to remain top of mind in the wrestling world is a testament to his enduring popularity and influence.
