There was also a massive update regarding Punk’s wife, AJ Lee. The insider suggested that The Geek Goddess would not be returning to the promotion anytime soon. Lee dropped the Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 42.

CM Punk returned to WWE at Survivor Series 2023 after a decade away. He spent a couple of years in All Elite Wrestling but was let go by the promotion following his backstage altercation with Jack Perry at All In 2023.

Major WWE star comments on his strained relationship with CM Punk

WWE RAW star Seth Rollins recently opened up about his relationship with CM Punk.

Speaking on Prince St. Pizza’s YouTube channel, The Visionary suggested that the former AEW World Champion was a phony and didn’t believe they could salvage their friendship.

“Well, there’s this guy. His name is CM Punk, a real a**hole this guy… I don’t like him. A lot of people love him. He and I don’t get along. We don’t see eye to eye. It has a long history there. I’m not a grudge holder, really. I wouldn’t consider myself. He’s an exception to the rule. [Is he a phony?] I would say so. He’s an interesting cat because if you love him, a lot of CM Punk fans out there, you believe and hang on every single word he says. But if you know the guy like I do, I see through all of it. He would probably say the same thing about me… I mean, there’s certainly some bad blood there. I think it would be a tough relationship to repair. I don’t know,” Rollins said.

It will be interesting to see when the 47-year-old finally makes his return to WWE television.
