Fans have been wondering if the former WWE Champion could be coming back to Vince McMahon’s company. Now, the former WWE star Heath Slater believes fans might be underwhelmed by Punk’s possible in-ring return.

Heath Slater reveals the reason behind the comment on CM Punk

Slater believes that the return would not be that huge due to his appearances on WWE Backstage back in 2019. Punk has not competed in an official match since parting ways with WWE in January 2014.

Heath Slater spoke on a Title Match Wrestling video, and he questioned why Punk agreed to discuss modern-day WWE topics on a talk show. He also implied that the anticipation surrounding Punk’s return has decreased following his WWE Backstage role:

“What got me is that I don’t understand why he would even come back to do the broadcasting,” Slater said. “No one wanted to see that. They wanted to see the music hit, him come out, and whoop some a**. I just feel like to me, now that he came back that way, if he does come back to wrestle, it’ll be like [underwhelming shrug]. I would’ve waited, I would’ve waited. But then again, if he wanted to do the whole interview thing with FOX, more power to him.”

We will have to see what is next Punk in the upcoming days.
