Legendary wrestling manager Jim Cornette has commented on possibly returning to WWE to manage a CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns match at WrestleMania. He stated that he would be open to it.
It's no secret that the 63-year-old veteran is a major fan of The Second City Saint. The latter has been back in the Stamford-based company for nearly a year, and he was involved in a feud with Drew McIntyre for most of his run.
On the latest edition of the Drive-Thru, Jim Cornette discussed potentially returning to WWE for one night only to manage CM Punk if he had a match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania in Louisville, Kentucky.

"That is never going to be a thing that ever takes place, but yeah. If they want to give me a WrestleMania payoff to manage Punk at Churchill Downs in Louisville, I’ll do it. (...) As long as I can drive [if it's in a different location], and hey, if for a big enough payday, I'll leave a couple hours or a couple days beforehand, so I've got a pretty good range there... Nevertheless, no, I'll go. So now the deal is almost done; we just got to get the paperwork from the office," said Cornette. [0:50-2:07]
