The biggest topic of conversation amongst wrestling fans over the last week has revolved around CM Punk, who made his first appearance as a WWE analyst on WWE Backstage on Tuesday.

His FOX debut happened to take place in the same week that WWE is holding four shows in a row in Chicago, where Punk lives, which has led to inevitable speculation that the former WWE Champion could appear at Survivor Series.

However, speaking in a media call after Saturday's NXT TakeOver: WarGames event, Triple H revealed that he has not spoken to Punk about an in-ring return, so a possible comeback over the next few days can officially be ruled out.

"I have not spoken to him. To be honest, we have not had that conversation. I know he's working for FOX and it's a bit of an arm's length from us. All of this stuff is baby steps, when people want something so bad, it's like they're saying, 'So you're saying there's a chance.' That's the moment of time that we're in."
