Amid his controversial dismissal from the AEW, former wrestler CM Punk is set to make a comeback in World Wrestling Entertainment. WWE, which is generating its highest-ever business now, is trying to finalise its possible return to the brand and the storyline for it.
However, in recent news reports, it has been revealed that Punk is looking to bring his close friend and former WWE superstar Ace Steel along with him. He is trying to crack a deal with WWE to make a duo comeback in the biggest wrestling entertainment brand. It’s worth noting that Ace Steel, who has been a key member of the creative team at All Elite Wrestling, might take the same position here.
CM Punk and his longtime friend Ace Steel may be considering a return to WWE with a potential whopping deal. Negotiations between Punk and Triple H have sparked rumours of a potential comeback. If this materialises, it’s likely that CM Punk will advocate for a role within WWE for Ace Steel.
Ace Steel has previously worked with WWE
It’s worth noting that Steel is no stranger to WWE, having previously held a developmental deal. He had also served as a coach until January 5, 2022, when he was released, reportedly due to budget constraints. His potential return alongside Punk could bring fresh energy to the Stamford-based company.
Furthermore, WWE is actively pursuing the re-signing of another prominent star, LA Knight. They are reportedly aiming for a lengthy commitment, with rumours swirling about a potential five-year deal. If this comes to fruition and Knight’s contract extends until 2029, it reflects WWE’s dedication to retaining top talent.
LA Knight’s recent surge in popularity and consistent push, notably starting with the Slim Jim Battle Royal at SummerSlam, underline WWE’s desire to maintain their current momentum. As negotiations unfold, the WWE Universe eagerly anticipates the potential returns and signings of these celebrated figures, which could reshape the landscape of professional wrestling once again.
