CM Punk on his possible WWE Survivor Series appearance
It was being rumored for the past few weeks that CM Punk might be on his way back to WWE and would make an appearance at Survivor Series this year, which is also taking place in his hometown of Chicago. Furthermore, the Second City Saint had previously stated that he would be available during the time when Survivor Series takes place. This, combined with some positive news regarding Punk’s negotiations with the Stamford-based promotion, led fans to believe that his return was more or less guaranteed soon.
However, all that went away when Dave Meltzer noted few days back that Vince McMahon was the one who made the decision to not work with CM Punk anymore. Although some fans still hold hope that the Chicago-born superstar would make an appearance, Punk himself spoke on the matter recently.
While appearing on 670 The Score in Chicago, the former AEW World Champion was directly questioned about whether he would make an appearance at WWE Survivor Series this year. Rather than providing a direct answer, Punk mentioned that the event is already sold out and it would be challenging for him to obtain any tickets. Additionally, he stated that he had more pressing matters to attend to, such as his dog recently suffering an injury, so he was more focused on spending time with his pet.
