Wrestling fans are buzzing with excitement and speculation following CM Punk's unexpected appearance at the CFFC 126 MMA event in Tampa, Florida. The controversial wrestler's presence fueled ongoing rumors about his much-anticipated return to WWE, especially given his dramatic and headline-grabbing exit from AEW.

Years after his infamous departure from WWE, Punk made a high-profile comeback in the wrestling world through AEW. However, his tenure was short-lived due to reported backstage disputes, ultimately leading to his firing. This left the door wide open for a return to WWE, helmed by Triple H, and fans have been quick to read into potential signs and clues.

CM Punk Hint at CFFC 126

At CFFC 126, the host intriguingly announced, "CM Punk is here, and he may be going to other promotions," as Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" played in the background. Notably, this track was the official theme song for last year's WWE Survivor Series.

Coincidentally, this year's Survivor Series is set to be hosted at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois—CM Punk's hometown. Given that the event is one of WWE's "big four" annual premium live events, the timing and location seem too perfect to ignore.

While these clues seem promising, recent backstage reports present a complex picture. Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp provided insights, stating, "There's always a chance, but there are a lot of top people on the roster in WWE that don't want him there." However, in the ever-dynamic world of professional wrestling, the adage "never say never" often rings true.

Many believe that CM Punk's return would tremendously boost WWE's viewership and overall business metrics. Conversely, concerns exist about how his strong personality might stir internal organisational tensions. CM Punk's appearance at the MMA event has left fans and insiders in a state of speculation.

The ambiguous clues and contrasting backstage reports make his potential WWE return one of the most hotly debated topics in professional wrestling today.
