CM Punk officially returned to wrestling two years ago when he made his AEW debut. Punk was away from wrestling for seven long years, but now he’s back in the mix. With Punk back in play a WWE return is a possibility, although it’s not clear if it will ever happen.
During an episode of his Oh You Didn’t Know? podcast Road Dogg was asked if there were any talents outside of WWE that he would like to see join the company, and he said that he doesn’t see anybody that “you have to have.” Road Dogg then went on to note that he thinks a CM Punk return would move the needle for WWE.
“Punk coming back would move the needle in a big way. I don’t know how relationships are with that … but that would move the needle. So, if I had to say somebody, it would be him, but I would only say him from a controversial standpoint … in my mind anyway, I think he’s a controversial figure at this point — and I think that’s good for business.”
Road Dogg also explained why he would take Punk over FTR and The Young Bucks when he added, “If FTR came back, you’d hear on the internet how great it was, [but] I’m not sure the ratings would move. With Punk, it’s a little [different] — I believe he’s above them. If I had to grab somebody, it’d be Punk. Look, if I had to get FTR back, I’d get them back in a heartbeat, too, because they’re a great tag team and will shore up our tag team division. But, I’d go for Punk — I’m not going for those guys and the same thing with Young Bucks.”
