10 WWE Superstars Who Could Debut (Or Return) The Night After WrestleMania 37
3. CM Punk
Last Time We Saw Them: In terms of actively performing inside of a wrasslin' ring, it's been a whopping seven years since 'The Voice of the Voiceless' last took any sort of bump in a WWE arena. In the years since walking out on the company post-2014 Royal Rumble, CM Punk has amassed a disappointing 0-2 MMA record whilst fighting in the UFC, and has also tried his hand at acting, commentating, and comic book writing. He'd then make something of a WWE return in 2019, showing up on WWE Backstage as a regular analyst under FOX contract.
Why They'd Return: MONEY! And lot's of it.
Perhaps there's a little more to it than that. Punk himself has admitted that it would take the "stupidest amount of money" to lure him back into a ring, but also stressed that he'd need a "story that would be fun to tell." If WWE were seriously interested in bringing back the former WWE Champion on the post-Mania Raw or SmackDown, the first condition likely wouldn't be much of a problem. It remains to be seen whether the company has a story up their sleeves tantalising enough to force the Chicago native to strut back out to 'Cult of Personality', though.
