Why CM Punk Will Never Wrestle For WWE

That’s a big negative. If there is one thing that I have learned in wrestling over the last few years it is to never say never. It seems that almost every few months, we see something happening that did not seem possible shortly before and that continues to be the case. It may be someone returning from injury or a match you didn’t think was possible, but it keeps happening. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Back in 2014, CM Punk walked out on the WWE, citing burnout and a series of injuries among other things. For years, it seemed unlikely that he would ever do anything with WWE again, but then FOX stepped in and made him an analyst on WWE Backstage. That got people talking about another possible return to the ring, but that seems to be off the table completely.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Vince McMahon has no desire to work with Punk no matter what. Punk being used on Backstage was not WWE’s decision and they did not want him on the show and had his appearances limited to once a month. No one in WWE, including Punk’s friend Paul Heyman, has been pushing to get Punk back into WWE as there is no point to it.

Punk had a big run in WWE. Check out some of his bigger moments:

Opinion: I can’t say I’m surprised here, but at the same time, how many people has WWE refused to work with before, only to bring them back in again? At the end of the day, McMahon seems likely to do business with anyone if they can make him money and I would assume Punk is no exception. It might not seem likely at this point, but maybe it is something that can happen down the road.
