Is CM Punk Making His WWE Return at Royal Rumble? Booker T Makes a Huge Speculation

There are just 13 spots left to be filled in for the Men’s Royal Rumble, and fans are eager for the big surprises to show up. Since most Superstars on the roster have already confirmed their entries, fans look to their dream returns. 

There is a possibility of Brock Lesnar returning, but what about CM Punk? Will the fan-favourite rebel star make his way back? Most fans don’t seem to think so, but Booker T has a different opinion.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, the WWE legend expressed his opinion on the return of CM Punk. Booker is optimistic on the topic and feels that ‘The Best in the World’ will finally make the comeback.

“The stars are aligned for something like this to happen,” said Booker. “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.”

Booker T thinks no one will be prepared for a CM Punk return

Booker T feels that the former WWE Champion can easily make his return to the ring now more than ever. He believes no one will expect the return given Punk’s firm absence from WWE content over the years and believes he will get the biggest reaction.

“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,” explained Booker.

“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,” expressed Booker. “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.”

CM Punk has not been in WWE since his departure in 2014. His appearances on WWE Backstage gave fans hope, but that wouldn’t suffice. 

Fans want their favourite rebel back, and he would surely do big things on the main roster. Will CM Punk make that big return? We can only wait to find out.
