During an interview with Rob Butler of BBC Norfolk, WWE SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis commented on the possible return of CM Punk to the company.
Punk remains on the free agent market following his AEW release due to a backstage altercation with Jack Perry at the All In 2023 pay-per-view event. WWE is reportedly not interested in bringing him back at this time. Despite this, there continues to be a lot of speculation among fans about Punk returning at Survivor Series later this month in Chicago, IL.
“He’s built & cultivated a huge fanbase, he sells a ton of merchandise, he moves numbers, he sells tickets, he puts butts in seats… call me old fashioned but that trumps everything else. There is a way for him to compete in WWE & I think that if it can be done & I think there is a way it can be really good business for everybody & I will wait with bated breath like everyone else to see if it happens, but if it does I’ll be excited to be involved with it.”
