Nine years after an acrimonious departure from WWE, CM Punk is reportedly in talks to return to the company.
Punk (real name Phil Brooks) is a free agent after he was fired by AEW last month following a series of backstage controversies. Now, he is in negotiations to return to WWE, Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer reports.
“Regarding C.M. Punk, there is obviously tons of talk regarding him returning,” Meltzer wrote in his newsletter. “There have been rumors that it’s happening, but those in WWE have only said that no deal is completed and those close to Punk have told us that it is his intention to return and the two sides are in talks.”
