What are WWE’s plans for a CM Punk return?

Chris Graham

cmpunkSo that now the talk is that CM Punk is back in rthe mix for WrestleMania 30, with a return to WWE set for Monday Night Raw tomorrow night, what could be in store for Punik for WM 30 and beyond?

Rhe insertion into the WWE title match as a third wheel in a triple-threat match with champ Randy Orton and Royal Rumble winner seems unlikely. With Punk’s contract set to expire in July, there’s no plausible reason for WWE to put the strap on him at ‘Mania, and everybody in the know (and that includes most of fhe demographic that cares about CM Punk at all.

If anything, the IWC would prefer to see Daniel Bryan in that match anyway, which would force us to assume that Punk would be returning to face WWE COO Triple H in some sort of grudge match.

This one makes more sense. Punk most likely took the past six weeks off to rest up his weary body, and creatve turned it into a nice storyline o keep people talking about a superstar who was going to be off the air for a while.

If he doesn’t plan to stick around past the end of his current contract, then we can expect Punk to lose to Triple H
