Vince Russo on CM Punk possibly returning to WWE
Wrestling legend Vince Russo doesn't think CM Punk will be returning to the promotion anytime soon.
Speaking on Writing with Russo, the wrestling veteran noted that WWE is more successful than ever. Vince Russo claimed that the company does not need Punk and the headaches that come along with the veteran star.
"I said no doubt, Punk would be interested in going back, but I don't think there would be any interest on the part of the WWE... They are making money hand over fist from a business point of view. They don't really care about the creative; they are running on cruise control. They have been doing this for a while. Why would they throw CM Punk into that mix, with really nothing for them to gain but headaches?" Vince Russo said. [2:32 - 3:11]
