It’s the day of the Royal Rumble and that reminds a lot of fans it’s been quite some time since we’ve seen CM Punk in a WWE ring. Punk hasn’t been in the WWE since the 2014 edition of the pay per view, and fans have been hoping for his return ever since. Punk hasn’t exactly been shy about not wanting to go back to the WWE, but he’s often said a lot of money or a good creative story would change his mind. However, one WWE Hall of Famer seems to think tonight is the perfect night for Punk and WWE to do business together.
Booker T spoke about CM Punk on his Hall of Fame podcast, where he predicted we’ll see Punk in tonight’s Royal Rumble, thinking that this might be the best night there’s ever been to make that happen.
“The stars are aligned for something like this to happen. I mean, CM Punk right now, there’s a whole lot of rumblings right now as far as CM Punk goes. A whole lot of rumblings. Everybody wondering what is CM Punk going to do. Perfect time for someone like CM Punk to make a return and what a splash it would be if CM Punk was to be #30 coming into the Rumble.”
“My thing is this, CM Punk would be the most unexpected entry to enter into the 2021 Royal Rumble than anybody out there. Somebody asked me the question on Monday about who’s the unexpected guy, you know, and I had to think about it for a minute. And that would be the guy – CM Punk. CM Punk’s name is in the news. CM Punk right now he’s still a hot commodity. CM Punk fans want to see Punk drop that elbow just one more time. Hopefully he can straighten it out a little bit but definitely if fans had a choice to see one guy back, just one guy, I think CM Punk’s name would be very high up on that list, very very high. That’s just my opinion.”
Punk began a quarantine back on January 21st, and revealed a couple days later it wasn’t because of COVID-19, but rather it was a mandatory quarantine for a job. He has yet to specify what that job is, but with a 10-day quarantine, one has to wonder if this is one of those stars aligning Booker T is talking about. You can watch Booker T’s podcast below.
