Triple H is the new creative in charge of the WWE. He is ready to do things that are beneficial for the business and the industry in general. It looks like the current hot topic CM Punk has reached him, and he is ready to bring him back to the WWE if the time, price and situation is right.
Triple H and CM Punk had a love-hate relationship according to The Second City Saint. CM Punk would love to make a return to the company that he left in April of 2014 and was fired from in June of the same year on his wedding day. If this happens, Punk won’t have to work a day in his life. He would just follow his passion and the rest shall follow. A backstage official in the knowledge of the situation stated to Fightful:
Triple H wants to be a success and make compelling programming more than anything. CM Punk back in WWE is compelling programming, but I can’t see it being a full-time deal like what he has in AEW, because of exactly what happened in AEW. That’s even if he has interest. If he gets a buyout, he may not need to work again.
As for the continued fallout from All Out, Punk’s friend and former colleague Ace Steel was just released by AEW — the first real movement the company has made on anyone involved in the backstage brawl. There’s no major development on the matter except this release.
Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, and CM Punk have all remained off the television and away from the company since, but on this week’s “AEW Dynamite,” The Elite was referenced during a Trios contest and a clip of a young CM Punk was used during a Ring of Honor promo package.
