CM Punk remains one of the most controversial professional wrestlers on the planet, who never fails to make a headline no matter what he does. There is a lot of speculation about him going back to WWE following his AEW firing. Now even Nick Aldis believes there is a way for Punk to compete in WWE again.
For the past couple of months, WWE has made several references to CM Punk in their programming. USA Network dropping blatant references further added to the speculation as well, which they have done a couple of times already.
While speaking with Rob Butler of BBC Norfolk, WWE SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis commented on CM Punk possibly returning to WWE. Aldis stated that he believes there is a way for Punk to compete in WWE again.
‘‘He’s built and cultivated a huge fanbase, he sells a ton of merchandise, he moves numbers, he sells tickets, he sells merchandise, he puts butts in seats. Call me old fashioned, but that trumps everything else. There is a way, there is a way for him to compete in the WWE and I think if it can be done, I think there’s a way it could be really good business for everybody. I will wait with bated breath like everyone else to see if it happens. If it does, I’ll be excited to be involved with it.”
WWE Creative has not been told anything regarding the potential return for CM Punk. CM Punk is also having a lot of fun with Survivor Series return rumors. Only time will tell if he will return at Survivor Series this month.
