CM Punk comments on the rumors of him returning to WWE Survivor Series
With this year's Survivor Series taking place in Chicago, many CM Punk fans strongly believe he'll be returning to the promotion for the event due to the recent references in the WWE program.
During an interview on 670 The Score, Punk was asked about the rumors of his return to Survivor Series, to which he ruled it out, citing that the show is already sold out.
“They're asking if I'm going to be there? I think it's sold out. I think tickets are hard to get."
However, he then hinted that it might not happen and listed all the things he's currently doing instead:
"I don't want to burst anybody's bubble. I'm kind of just sitting at home and enjoying this beautiful Chicago weather. I have an injury in the family. My dog [Larry] blew his dog ACL. I'm literally just spending my time with him. I know that sounds crazy, but he is my son, and I take care of him and treat him as such."
While there are many stars who don't want him back in the promotion, Hall of Famer Mark Henry wants to see a match between Seth Rollins and The Second City Saint.
