WWE to hold meetings over CM Punk - Reports
The return of CM Punk to WWE continues to trend in the world of pro wrestling. The comeback is also a hot topic of discussion within company HQ and the locker room, per reports.
The two-time AEW World Champion returned to World Wrestling Entertainment at the end of the 37th annual Survivor Series event on Saturday night. Since then, the feedback has been strong, ranging from positive to negative and everything in between. The word on Punk from within his new company is just as differing, and now it appears that officials are looking to help quell some of the concern.
According to Fightful Select, there are several WWE talents who expect to speak with higher-up officials about Punk. It was noted that these wrestlers are looking to gain some assurances about the 45-year-old grappler and how the company will use him moving forward.
Punk's pro wrestling future has been up in the air in recent months, but there were people in both WWE and AEW who said they did not want to work with him once he made up his mind on moving forward. There were also some who said they would consider leaving the job if he was brought back, but so far, there's been no talk of release requests made in relation to Punk.
Punk is booked to return to RAW tonight. This will be his first appearance on WWE's flagship TV show since the January 20th, 2014 episode.
