5 Ways CM Punk can make his in-ring return: Massive rivalry reignited, pipebomb against top champion
The beauty of the pro wrestling business is that you can never say never. Throughout the history of WWE, we've witnessed several unexpected moments, and what happened on WWE Backstage this week easily makes it to the list.
So, in case you were living under a rock (not, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson), former WWE Superstar and one of the biggest fan-favorites of the modern era, CM Punk, made his return to WWE TV, as he joined FS1's WWE Backstage as a "special contributor and analyst."
Now, the questions are aplenty, but the biggest one of them is whether this new role will eventually lead to an in-ring return for 'The Cult of Personality?' I personally believe it will. Therefore, let me discuss the five possible ways in which Punk might come back to the WWE ring, hopefully sooner rather than later.

#5 Set-up a feud with a Superstar on WWE Backstage
As per the current rumors, CM Punk has only signed a deal with FOX and not with WWE. So, technically, he still isn't working for Vince McMahon, yet. But as mentioned above, you can never say never in this business. Many were convinced that Punk would never come back to WWE TV, but he just did. So what's there to stop him from an in-ring return?
Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue recently reported that Punk was only a phone call away. He also added that Vince McMahon has no problem with him and would love to have him back, so the signs look positive!
Punk will be making appearances on WWE Backstage, which interestingly has Superstars appear as guests on the show. Samoa Joe and Adam Cole were, in fact, present when Punk made his grand return. This could prove to be a perfect platform to set-up a heated feud between Punk and any of these two or some other Superstar (check out Seth Rollins' tweet below).
We all know the masterclass of Punk when it comes to promo skills. Building a storyline from his real-life scenario, leading to a massive return match would sell out any arena in the world.
