Anything is possible in wrestling.
Even CM Punk returning to WWE before or AT Survivor Series in Chicago tomorrow.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
Of course the biggest question regarding the show probably involves CM Punk. If WWE was to bring in Punk, this night or Smackdown the night before would be the place to debut him. We’ve seen no evidence this is happening and those close to the situation have denied it, but it is possible it’s a well-kept secret.
We do know that one of the key reasons they made sure Orton’s name was out and didn’t do a surprise was the idea that it would lead to people expecting Punk in that spot and they wanted that shut down. If Punk isn’t there the last thing the company wants is Punk chants during the show.
From the start we were told that while there is negativity about Punk, they are not completely opposed to it if the idea is it’s something they have to do in regard to fan response.
While every creative head has their plan, this creative side is not looking at being combative with the audience like Vince McMahon often was.
