Punk got too much pride for that, he's either done with wrestling or will do a run in the E at some point to cap his career.

Grain of salt and all that, but Ibou from Wrestlepurists on one of the streams last night said a "major name in WWE has already reached out to Punk"
Also discussed Meltzer and Alvarez talking. Said Dave said it was up to HHH and Nick Khan (Duh obviously) but Dave said people "he knew in the locker room dont want him back (Also Duh) but that its not their call". Of course they are people in their that want him back
They all theorized on WP he might be included as a pre-order bonus or have a big rollout for WWEK 2k4 like Golberg, Sting, Warrior etc but Im like its cutting it close to time depending on when they are readying it (though nowadays they drop the game in the top of the year instead of the holidays of the year before so maybe theres time?)
They think he'll be part of the game and then he'll have a Mania match and then after that both sides will asses to see where he goes forward (So basically like Goldberg in 2016/2017). Remember this last part is theorizing not actually any info but its an educated guess
Also talked about this past Wrestlemania and a year ago...there was a belief when Punk might have seeked a buy out after Brawl Out like reported than Punk would come in to WWE and Ibou claims he heard from people Austin trained again in Nov/Dec thinking he might have another smoke and mirrors match with Punk despite WWE not saying anything but just being sure (
) and when it wasnt happening Steve was like "Well gawd dang kid what am I doing all this for" and stop training lolol
Ibou also talked about what he heard about Punk's exit. Said basically he was locked in and focus on making Collision a great show and then around week 9 he was checked out (which they think timing wise lines up with the Hangman comment in the ring and all the leaks coming out about who he was banning and the meeting with the Elite being cancelled...basically that one week where everything snowballed and at that point he wasnt trying to get fired but he didnt care if he was) and immediatley it was reflected on the quality of the product of the show (so the next 2 weeks).
Said he went from being hyped and walking around tellng people backstage ideas, agenting, producer to then being like "Yeah sure whatever" and deferring to others for ideas (Tony Khan). They thought Punk did that thing dressed as the Golden Vampire vs Joe thats an example. They never got a proper Joe vs Punk promo battle in the ring cause he checked out and was like "Whatever just put me in a match and I'll attack him fukk it"
Said he was in an "awful place" the week of All In London and contemplated retirement. Said everyone in AEW was shocked and caught off guard by the firing (Pro and Anti and Neutral Punk)....but Punk himself and his camp were not surprised at his firing and that on the day of All in after it happened Punk knew it (Partly because he told Tony he quit anyway)

Completely dream booking at this point but can’t we say if we get Austin/Punk and Rock/Reigns at ‘Mania next year, that mf show would be so goated?
Imagine Heyman actually being put into the HOF in Philly, Lesnar inducting him, and Punk actually in attendance as well

Dream match on card but shyt would be high levels of
It's clearly happening and you didn't need a bunch of Indians yelling it did you lol. Anybody holding onto any other scenario, Impact, Endeavor doesn't want him, Vince doesn't want him, locker room, sounds like the same hopium they were huffing earlier this year
The new "Why would Cody go back there? or "They're gonna turn on Cody anytime now", take your pick. Rooted for him to fail unlike anything I've ever seen because it was justification in their minds for Cody not working out in their favorite big budget monster truck mudshow.
Idk how he's gonna act when there but I'm sure he knows he's on his last leg unless he wants a few Impact checks before going out. There's already some ego hit going back there after sitting indian style on that debut episode talking about you left wrestling going there, buy 1 get 1 extravaganza etc all that looks ridiculous now. We'll see how he is with a company ran like a business, he'll either be the same dikkhead he was in his prime or now that he sees the end, got mud on his face from the other place, he'll come in and do what Cody did, be bigger than he was over there.
Whatever happens, WWE/Endeavor want it, even if the honeymoon only lasts a couple months. That's couple months of merch, headlines, and showing up the "competition". You're out of your mind if think for a nanosecond they wouldn't take that without clearly explaining to him how it's gonna go

If he goes back to the E he’s definitely gonna be put in-line. It seems the only way he can keep himself checked is if there’s proper authority figures and has more of an eye on him; he lasted almost a decade in the E.
But things aren’t what they were before, so it might be a little different.

Really is a wait and see because Endeavor takes over on Tuesday. They're the elephant in the room.

I’m sure they’ll have no issue bringing him back, as long as they lay down the law. But the way he’s been acting might have an affect on their decision.
Imagine
Royal rumble 2014 was punks last appearance in WWE
Royal rumble 2024 marks punks return
