The rumors of CM Punk returning to WWE continue to pick up steam.
On the latest episode of his “Drive Thru” podcast, pro wrestling legend Jim Cornette addressed the rumors and how he thinks Survivor Series in Punk’s hometown of Chicago is the best time to make it happen.
“So, this has been obvious what was going to happen. Survivor Series is in Chicago, great time to make a debut. Royal Rumble is in January, great time to f**king win it. A world title of some description, would be at WrestleMania, great time to wrestle for it. The f***! This is not news; this is common sense taking place.”
Cornette continued, “This is not surprising, and this is exactly what we figured would happen once that he was free of any paperwork with AEW. They’re going to give him a f**king very nice deal, I’m sure the new ownership, because they’re spiking numbers, they’re doing media negotiations, they need to get the ratings up, they’re bringing all the stars back, hands on deck. Color me very unsurprised.”
