Former AEW Champion CM Punk’s future has been subject to a lot of speculation ever since he got fired by Tony Khan last month. While there have been rumors linking him to WWE, there have also been many instances where wrestlers indirectly referenced him.
On RAW this week, commentator Wade Barrett seemingly threw shade at CM Punk after he made a reference to walking on broken glass. Punk and Jack Perry got into an altercation at AEW All In after the latter took a verbal shot at the former during his match against Hook.
That led the two men to confront each other backstage, and that saga ended with CM Punk getting fired after an internal investigation.
After Barrett’s statement on commentary, a lot of fans on social media had their theory on how WWE is against the idea of bringing in their former employee.
Check out the reactions below:
While all this is just speculation, it should not come as a surprise if Punk eventually shows up in WWE, as there have been a lot of references to him lately.
