WWE Rumor Roundup: Triple H's amazing offer to CM Punk, Former Intercontinental Champion may finally return after 9 years - 23rd October 2019

#4 Carlito gets an offer from WWE

I hope you all remember Carlito because not doing so would make you uncool, and we all know what Carlito did to people who don't want to be cool!

The former US and IC Champion had joined the company in the 2000s and quickly rose to success, having memorable feuds with top Superstars such as John Cena. The 40-year-old, however, left the company in 2010 and hasn't returned in a major capacity since, even though he has continued to work for other promotions.

Former WWE Superstar Savio Vega revealed while speaking to Hannibal TV reporter Jeremy Prophet that WWE had approached Carlito as recently as last week to discuss a possible in-ring return.

#3 CM Punk's WWE Backstage deal in trouble

While his in-ring return continues to stir speculation, the one thing that seemed to be a possibility was CM Punk joining the panel of FS1's show WWE Backstage. There had been plenty of rumors that had stated that Punk joining the show was all but done. However, it looks like the plans have been shelved, at least for now.

Here is what Fightful Select has stated:

“As mentioned before, Punk's tryout went well and he impressed the Backstage team, but it was left in the hands of higher ups at FOX that seemed like they'd ‘moved on’ as recently as this week. Nothing is concrete in that regard, though.”
