CM Punk Reportedly 'Expected' For RAW Return

Source: The Wrestling Observer

CM Punk is reportedly "expected" to return this Monday on RAW in his hometown of Chicago. A source who is said to be "top WWE star" claims that Punk's return is "100% certain."

The report notes that if he does return, Punk will likely slot back into his match with Triple H at WrestleMania XXX, or possibly being added to WWE World Title Match. That match was reportedly changed recently in creative plans to a triple threat, with the third opponent not yet named internally.

The report is NOT confirmed just yet.

More shortly.

He dosent deserve to be in the main event at WM I Don't care what anyone says his actions over the past couple of weeks have been unprofessional.

I don't think so. He's being the fans voice in my opinion. The crowds have been very vocal lately clearly showing their tired of the same shit. We don't want the part timers, we want the ones that work 365 days a year. We want new and fresh talent.

I don't like the idea of Batista being in the main event either BUT CM Punk didn't need to storm off the way he did.He was scheduled for many shows and events and People were looking forward to seeing him but Everything got canceled because he wanted to leave because he wasn't getting what he wanted what he did was unprofessional.This Is the WWE Punk should know they would pull stupid Crap like this all the time.

Does anyone not forget that huge title reign he just had? He may be "the best in the world" but the way he's acting is just ridiculous. Hopefully this isn't true and he never comes back cause he's replaceable and with him being gone it gives someone new an opportunity at getting a push.

I hope CM Punk does return because I agree with TornadoDDT on this one. The Voice of the Voiceless is not just a nickname in his case.

Yeah, it may have been a little unprofessional, but since when has CM Punk ever been professional in the strictest sense. He's always done things his way, not WWE's. And I can understand his dislike for part time talent, I mean you'd be pretty bitter about them if one of the walked in and ended you 434 day reign as World Champion, and another walked back into the company after several years away and is rewarded with a Royal Rumble win over a litany of superstars who would have been much more deserving of that spot, including one who was not even granted a spot in the match (you all know who I'm talking about).

Personally, I see CM Punk's walkout as something similar to a strike. A strike against the prominence of part time talent such as Batista, The Rock, Brock Lesnar and the New Age Outlaws, whilst deserving stars like Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler and many others are held back and not given the spots they have clearly earned despite WWE's best efforts.

What I'm basically saying is that because of what it appears to me CM Punk walking out was about, if he's negotiating his return it means he got his message across and we are going to see changes for the better in WWE soon, possibly even before Wrestlemania. And lets be honest, we're all going to be more interested in the WWEWHC Match if it featured someone like Daniel Bryan or even CM Punk in it.

Agreed.

I really hope WWE is adding a third person because no one gives a FLYING FUCK about Orton vs Batista.

I believe they will add a third just because so far rumors of WM matches are coming true. Such as Brock vs Taker, and Cena vs Wyatt.

Wrestlemania XXX should be the BIGGEST PPV EVER. And it still seems really off to me. Oh yeah! That shitty match they have booked called the main event! 😏

Another thing...

If these matches for the tag titles and divas title are true they need to GET TO IT and start building!

At the end of the day CM Punk showed he is just like these part time guys. He takes time off and shows up when he wants. The only reason he is back in WWE is because it's about profit over professionalism. We have seen this with multiple star talent in the past and how many guys like Orton and them have messed up and stay at the top. Guy lower on the card is released. At the end of the day I like Batista but to me I don't care if he is main eventing or not I am happy to see him back. I do feel bad for the talent but to be fair since Batista return he mainly been very active on the roster and at the raws unlike the rock who had a world title reign and didn't defend the title during it much at all. I love how the rock fans want to make up the excuse for the rock being into a title match and a title run based on his "popularity in all honest now is movies not wrestling" which WWE used the same they will Batista with Guardian of the Galaxy coming out this summer.

UPDATE: After the earlier news report claiming that CM Punk will be back on RAW in Chicago, IL tomorrow night, the following item surfaced on CM Punk's Twitter account. After Punk walked out on the WWE after the Royal Rumble PPV, the official WWE Twitter account stopped following Punk's own account. However, the new WWE Network account, which was created after Punk's walkout, is now following Punk on Twitter.

The basic gist of things is that WWE gave Punk some time to "cool off" and then wound up talking to him. Punk vented his frustrations to Vince McMahon and something was agreed upon that made Punk happy enough to be willing to come back. It's possible he'll be in the WrestleMania 30 main event as that was one of the things that he wanted. Again, the entire thing is not a work. It's simply a case of where a guy was frustrated, walked out on the company and eventually the two sides wound up talking and worked things out. Could they turn it into a "work" now that things have cooled off? Of course .... but that likely all depends on if CM Punk agrees to it. They are doing everything possible to keep Punk happy during his return to the company. The guy sells a ton of merchandise and is one of their top stars that they want at WrestleMania 30. We'll have a major update on this later tonight and again tomorrow morning. Stay tuned for that.

I think Daniel Bryan has been treated very well IMO I enjoy the chase of him becoming WWE Champ besides he's already been champ he defeated Cena Which is a pretty big deal regardless if was short or not.If Daniel Bryan won the title again then What?

CM Punk on the other hand like MKGT pointed out has been Champion for over 300 days what since would it make for him to win the title again why Should he Be the one to be in the Main event at Mania he needs to pay for his actions and him being left off the card is good start.And CM Punk is not the voice of the Voiceless because Daniel Bryan has been dropping Pipe bombs like crazy over WWE Management

I still believe that CM Punk is jealous of the attention Bryan had been getting.

I'm hearing Daniel Bryan is going to face HHH at WM...

What happened to WM Moments!?!? Bryan needs to be in the main event and WIN. It would be a huge moment.

Have Punk face HHH!

But Him Beating HHH could be a big moment for him the only problem is that I don't think HHH will let him win and I really hope he let's Daniel Win Seriously what is HHH gonna Gain from beating Bryan it's time for him To Pass the torch already.

Lmao HHH pass the torch?
