6 Former WWE Superstars who could make their surprise return in 2021

#1 Former WWE Champion CM Punk

CM Punk left WWE back in 2014 following the annual Royal Rumble match, but he's a star that many fans believe will answer the calling to make his in-ring return at some point.

Punk came close to returning to WWE when he was part of WWE Backstage, which was sadly canceled. In a recent interview with Renee Young on her Oral Sessions Podcast, he made it clear that the door is now open for him to make his return if there was a good enough story.

"Without wanting to insult anybody on any either side of the fence, any WWE talent or any AEW talent, it would take – above all – an interesting scenario. A story that would be fun to tell. Also, just the stupidest amount of money. But they could just save themselves a whole lot of money if they just presented like a fun storyline."

It's unknown if this return will occur in 2021, but if WWE wants to improve their ratings, CM Punk would be the perfect man to call.
