CM Punk‘s return to WWE has been long overdue if rumors and speculations are to be believed. Ever since he was fired from AEW, one thing or another has been teasing fans regarding his possible return to the Stamford-based company. Now, it looks like the promotion itself has also hopped onto the trend as fans pick up on the hints.

WWE jumps on board alongside CM Punk

WWE UK recently took to Twitter to upload a picture of Sheamus. In the picture, we can see The Celtic Warrior in a ‘punk’ outfit. This had the promotion upload the caption, “[Sheamus] in his punk era,” while tagging the superstar in the process. However, the Stamford-based company knew that Sheamus wasn’t going to be the highlight of the post when they used the word ‘punk’ in it.

Fans call out WWE for teasing them

So far, there is no official news out regarding Punk’s return to WWE. However, all the teases have kept fans on the edges of their seats so far. Now, WWE took the liberty of teasing them too by uploading a picture of Sheamus with a witty caption.

Fans picked up on the hint as one of them joked about the caption. Here we can see a fan cleverly dissecting and abbreviating Sheamus’ name to make it sound more like ‘CM Punk’.


Then, another excited fan showed their excitement through a comment.


A netizen changed their font in order to suit the ‘meme’ they are referring to. If you have been caught up with the online teases about the wrestler’s return, you would recognize what is being referenced here.
