WWE Sources: CM Punk And WWE Are Not In Talks (Patreon)

Another day, more CM Punk news.

WWE Fastlane came and went without Triple H being asked about CM Punk at the post-show presser, but we're told that as far as people have heard from him, CM Punk is not planned for a WWE return.

Fightful spoke with those high up in WWE that any reports of CM Punk signing with WWE are completely false, and additionally as of October 10, the claim internally is that WWE is not in conversations with CM Punk about a comeback. There were several in the company that wanted to make that clear for fans expecting to see him at Survivor Series this year. 

As with anything in wrestling, things change, but WWE sources are adamant that as of now, the two sides are not in talks. Fightful reported that Punk had feelers talking to people within WWE about how it should be approached. One source close to Punk told Fightful they believe that to be accurate, and from what they've heard Punk was waiting to see if they'd approach him. When reaching out to Punk in the last week, Fightful had not heard back.

Several  talent outright asked those in power about the possibility and rumors of Punk to WWE this week, and were told that as things stands, he wasn't coming back to the company at this time. 

For those asking, we did press sources on the numerous teases, or things that could be perceived as CM Punk teases. The higher up and a top WWE talent said that they're sure that most of them are not cleared beforehand, and might be wrestlers doing it themselves, with the WWE talent saying they might even be doing it to get under CM Punk's skin. You're free as a reader to not believe that.

To reiterate, these are claims within WWE, include by higher ups as far up the chain as things go. Plans change, negotiations happen, etc.
