CM Punk's return might affect major WWE storyline - Reports

CM Punk's return to WWE after almost a decade will reportedly affect a major storyline.

Amidst speculations regarding CM Punk's return to WWE, Shinsuke Nakamura attacked Ricochet backstage and hit him with Punk's finisher, GTS. The King of Strong Style also started doing cryptic promos targeted at a mystery opponent, further teasing the latter's return.

CM Punk made a shocking return to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames in his hometown. The Chicago crowd went ballistic as soon as his theme song started playing following the main event in which Randy Orton returned from a back injury after almost 18 months. The Viper helped his team win the WarGames Match against The Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre.

According to recent reports by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, the former AEW star's return will make an immediate impact, as it might alter the current storyline involving Shinsuke Nakamura.

The reports suggest that the latter's storyline did not originally involve the Best in the World. But now the plans may get altered to add the former World Champion in the mix of things. It was also noted that not many people know what Nakamura's current storyline is.

It may be noted that Shinsuke's original opponent has not been revealed yet. It will be interesting to see how WWE takes this storyline ahead. A match between The King of Strong Style and the Best in the World will certainly get fans excited.
