CM Punk's Potential WWE Return Hinges on Mending Fences

Sources within WWE believe that CM Punk wants to come back to the company, but there are "fences to mend" due to previous issues and bad feelings. While Punk's camp and WWE had sent out feelers to gauge interest in a return, there have been no concrete discussions. WWE's interest in Punk would be the determining factor for his return, and talents within the company would be consulted. Some WWE stars believe Punk would need to reconcile with influential talent, while others are opposed to his comeback. Sources close to Punk are confident of his return and believe he is willing to make amends. However, if a reunion occurs, Punk may have little leverage in contract negotiations due to his tumultuous exit from AEW.
