#5 Triple H talks about a CM Punk return
There has been a lot of chatter related to CM Punk as of late. Punk, who had remained adamant on never returning to pro-wrestling, recently took a U-turn when he stated that a "big bag" is what it will take to bring him out of his pro-wrestling slumber.
Here is what Punk had said while appearing on "My Mom's Basement" podcast at Barstool Sports:
My attitude has always been that I don’t see it (returning to WWE) happening. I think I’ve talked about it more recently, but my attitude hasn’t changed. People always ask what would it take to go back, and I say it would take a big bag. So people use their imaginations.
Triple H was recently part of Ariel Helwani's MMA Show, where he talked about multiple topics including a possible CM return. The Game has been rumored to have not-so-cordial relations with Punk. However, that didn't stop Hunter from making his stance on a CM Punk return clear:
That's a 'could be'. Vince will say it all the time: 'We're open for business'. The past is passed, today is today and you never say never in WWE."
So here we have it, Triple H has made it clear that he doesn't have any objections to CM Punk returning and that the doors are always open.
