Booker T doesn’t have a whole lot of confidence in the notion that CM Punk will be making a return to WWE and questions his current-day value to a wrestling company.
The two-time WWE Hall Of Famer was speaking on his Hall Of Fame podcast, sharing his reservations regarding CM Punk and the current hype behind him possibly making a return to WWE.
“People are speculating that CM Punk will be making his return to the WWE Survivor Series. For me, that’s a hard one to actually believe in. You know me. I’m normally pretty close, pretty accurate when it comes to rumors swirling around out there. This one is something I saw but nobody has really confirmed anything. Nobody has said WWE people have said they are in talks with CM Punk. I think this is a lot of rumor being speculated upon just because Survivor Series is going to be in Chicago and CM Punk is from Chicago.”
Booker T: “What Is The Win In Getting CM Punk?”
While there has been nothing concrete when it comes to the wrestling future of CM Punk, Booker T goes on to question the actual value he brings to WWE if he were to return, even in his backyard of Chicago at Survivor Series.
“CM Punk, he didn’t just leave WWE. He got fired from WWE. He didn’t just leave AEW. He got fired with cause from AEW. What value does a person like that bring to your company? I mean, I’m just being honest here. You tell me. People will say, ‘He’s got a lot of people that’s gonna love it. He’s got a lot of fans that are gonna love it.’ Yeah, he’s got a lot of fans, but those fans actually mean nothing when it comes to the big picture because the fans that love him didn’t bump the ratings that much on AEW where it was that much more significant than it was before he actually got there?
“Am I right or wrong? So can somebody please enlighten me? What is the win in getting CM Punk? I don’t see one.”
