Fans keep chanting for CM Punk, but it seems like he’s nowhere near returning to the ring. However, Triple H seems to think if he wants to come back, it might be time for Punk to be the one to make a phone call.
CM Punk has been the target of big speculation about his in-ring future for ages, most recently when AEW promised a “hall of fame” caliber signing. It still seems Punk is hardly anywhere near close to returning to the ring, but Triple H was asked about him on the Pardon My Take podcast, where he revealed his thoughts on Punk returning to the ring and how recently the two had spoken.
“Last time I talked to [Punk]? A year and a half, a year and three quarters ago. A funny thing that people will constantly will say when his return is, but in some way, that has to be what he wants. People go, ‘make the call.’ Who says if we make the call that he wants to answer? What if we make the call and he’s like, ‘I’m not interested in doing that anymore.’ Maybe he’s just done with it. Those are conversations that only those people can directly answer. If he wants to do it, we would get word and have those conversations or he would make a call. There has to be a desire there to do something like that. This business is too all in to just go, ‘Ehhhh, alright, I’ll do it.'”
Punk continues to shut down rumors of his return, but he has talked about how making a return not just for good money, but if the story was right. While fans may keep chanting his name, it seems like it’s really going to have to be on his terms.
