CM Punk: 8 Rumoured WWE Returns And Status Updates

3. Punk Is €˜Injured€™ And Returning

http://imgur.com/a/u9Xj3#14http://imgur.com/a/u9Xj3#14This might be one of the most interesting rumors out there, mainly because it has a more tangible basis than many of the others. The root of this rumor came from an April 14 Raw script, with a talent roster page listing CM Punk as €œINJ €“ TBD€ as of April 10 (just four days after WrestleMania XXX). The script obviously is an internal WWE document, so the questions immediately began swirling about why Punk even was listed as a miscellaneous talent if he truly has departed. One of the original rumored reasons for Punk€™s January exit from the company was not only disgust, but a need to heal some nagging injuries he had been dealing with for some time. Could this leaked talent roster be bearing that out, that Punk is injured and a return is €œto be determined?€ As with all the rumors on this list, there€™s just as much to back it up as there is to dismiss it, so file it away for future consideration.
