"Said the same about Cody" - Fans erupt after major update on former Intercontinental Champion's potential WWE return

Former WWE Intercontinental Champion CM Punk has been the talk of the wrestling world ever since he got fired from AEW.

There have been multiple reports over the past month that have suggested that The Straight Edge Superstar is close to a move to WWE. Now, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it seems like Punk's move to either World Wrestling Entertainment or All Elite Wrestling is a dead deal.

That has come as a shock to some fans. Some reacted with sadness, knowing that if the report was true, then they would not see their beloved superstar again. Some fans, however, saw this narrative in another way and said that this is similar to what happened with Cody Rhodes and suggested that Punk will be in WWE soon.

"Said the same about Cody lol," a fan tweeted.

With fans comparing CM Punk's situation with Cody Rhodes, it will be interesting to see if it will have the same ending.
