From the look of things, CM Punk isn't returning to WWE anytime soon. While that's no real surprise, what's caught people off guard is the latest rumor about how WWE has a more bitter and negative feeling towards 5-time World Champion CM Punk.

Dave Meltzer confirmed this on the Wrestling Observer Radio after being asked about WWE being negative on hiring Punk as a wrestler again:

Yeah of him wrestling with them, with the company. I think the idea is that between Bill Goldberg and Edge and you know, The Undertaker and people like that, they've gotten their fair share of guys like that and there's a lot of bitterness. Apparently, there is a lot more bitterness on the WWE's side than on Punk's side. I would have thought it would be the other way around.

He even said that Vince McMahon labeled Punk as someone he can't do business with. We hope this rumor isn't true because we can never say never in WWE and we would still hope for a return someday.
