5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Original plans for The Rock on SmackDown, 4-time WWE World Champion arrested

#3 Hope is true: The entire CM Punk-WWE situation

CM Punk

CM Punk's return to WWE seems all but inevitable now. First, there were rumors that CM Punk went to FOX to tryout an analyst role alongside Renee Young and then there was a follow-up report, stating that FOX was very happy with Punk.

Punk himself confirmed these rumors and said that he only tried out because it meant he wouldn't have to work with WWE directly. He also stated that he wants to be able to give his honest opinions when things are bad.

Renee Young, while not outright confirming it, hinted at CM Punk as an analyst and stated "never say never" with regards to WWE. According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, CM Punk was in a bus near SmackDown and was closing in on the show but it didn't end up happening.

That being said, there was also wide speculation backstage at Smackdown that CM Punk was on a bus outside and was closing SmackDown, which obviously didn't end up happening. We've been told FOX was thrilled with CM Punk's performance during his tryout."

We hope this is true because Punk returning in this role would be incredible. Do we need to say more than that?
