#5. Hope is true: CM Punk's agent pitched an idea to work with WWE for FOX
It's no secret that CM Punk has no desire to get back in the squared circle again. Apart from just disdain with how things ended in WWE, he claimed to have lost all his passion for pro wrestling.
With that said, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has reported that CM Punk's agents pitched an idea for him to co-host a WWE talk show alongside Renee Young when the FOX deal begins.
