Vince McMahon had quiet a few differences with CM Punk which led him to leave the company in 2014. Punk went home before an episode of RAW in 2014. On the March 3 episode of Raw, WWE acknowledged Punk’s absence on television when the show started with Punk’s entrance music playing, only for former manager Paul Heyman to walk out. WWE proceeded to remove Punk from footage of their promotional videos. This lasted until the first half of July, where WWE used footage of Punk to promote the WWE Network.
The WWE Universe gets vocal in support for the former WWE champion and there have been instances when the arena echoed with “CM Punk”. Per wrestling oberserver newsletter, CM Punk is expected to return to WWE if he ever gets back to pro wrestling.’
It has been more than 6 years since Punk left WWE but everything is possible in pro wrestling. WWE’s COO Triple H has recently commented on CM Punk’s possible return to the company and didn’t rule out the chances.
“That’s a ‘could be. Vince [McMahon] will say it all the time: ‘We’re open for business.’ The past is passed, today is today and you never say never in WWE,” Triple H said at Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.
Punk has fought two UFC fights ever since leaving WWE and has been involved in MMA action. He has also tried his hands at acting but the only real involvement in pro wrestling was the autograph signing and an appearance at Starrcast in his hometown of Chicago.
