5 reasons why WWE will not take CM Punk back from UFC
Punk’s future does not lie in the squared circle
When CM Punk walked away from professional wrestling, the world was stunned.
After years of feeling underappreciated and undervalued, the Straight-Edge Superstar finally walked out of the door and to this day has never gone back. Many people believe that one day he probably will, but we don't think that's the case.
Many big names have had some serious problems with WWE and Vince McMahon, only to end up returning, but the bridges appear to have been well and truly burned when it comes to good old Phil Brooks.
The now-UFC fighter appears to be enjoying life in the octagon, and when you look at his track record it makes a lot of sense to consider that he won't be re-entering the squared circle anytime soon.
If you're a fan of the guy then we apologise in advance, but the evidence is all there.
It's not just one-sided either because WWE probably aren't overly interested in the prospect themselves. People seem to have this image of Vince crying himself to sleep every night about Punk leaving, but in reality, it seems like that couldn't be further from the truth.
With that being said, let's take a look at five reasons why WWE will not take CM Punk back from UFC.
#1 Injury prone
Punk’s injuries are starting to pile up
If you've heard some of the comments that Punk has come out with since leaving, in addition to his UFC tenure so far, you'll know that the guy has picked up a fair few injuries over the years.
Whilst it may not necessarily indicate frailties, you can't deny that it raises a few eyebrows about Punk's durability both in the squared circle as well as the octagon.

If he were to return to WWE, there would be a lot of worry among management regarding just how much he'd have left in the tank for another run in the company. Given how much stock they put into their big events, if Punk was to get injured before one of the big four Vince probably wouldn't take too kindly to that.
After all, his relationship with the WWE's medical staff isn't superb.
Back over to the UFC now for something of a sore subject.
