CM Punk hasn't been seen inside the squared circle for a while. But, this doesn't mean that the former WWE Champion isn't making headlines. Case in point, The Voice of the Voiceless is generating a ton of chatter after reportedly visiting his former home.
According to PW Insider, Punk was seen backstage visiting "several WWE talents" and even meeting with Triple H, who he infamously had a real-life feud with before he left the company in 2014.
Furthermore, the same sources suggest that Vince McMahon was the one who asked Punk to leave the arena. It's presumed that this is because CM Punk is still under contract with the AEW.
The timing of CM Punk's visit to the WWE is odd considering that he's set to come back to the AEW at the United Center in Chicago on June 17 as the star of a still-unnamed brand for the WWE rival.
CM Punk commands respect. CM Punk was a defining star of the WWE for most of the early 2010s. He made a name for his straight-edge persona, in-ring skills, and captivating WWE audiences with his promos. Unfortunately, his WWE career came to an end in 2014 and he hasn't achieved the same success since. After a short hiatus from wrestling, Punk signed with the AEW in 2021 before a real-life altercation last year forced him out of action.
