During his 83 Weeks podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff commented on the rumors of CM Punk potentially returning to WWE:
āI still think itās a remote possibility. Iāve never come out and said, āThereās no way itāll ever happen.ā I know better than that, for crying out loud. Iāve been involved in too many things that everybody thought would never happen. But I do feel that itās extremely remote. One, just because logically, WWE doesnāt need him. Their business is strong. Theyāre selling out everywhere they go for TV. Their finances, each time they present them, theyāre records. So I donāt know where the need would be. I certainly donāt believe it would be in Chicago this weekend. I just donāt. Because thereās definitely no need there. The tickets are already sold out. Why do it? Obviously, thereās a much bigger audience than just that audience in Chicago, but again, Iāll go back to what I stated. They donāt really need him. WWE doesnāt need it.
Now, Royal Rumble? Going into WrestleMania, I could buy that as a possibility because it makes sense, even though they donāt need Punk by any stretch of the imagination. There is absolutely zero need for him. However, getting that surge of momentum and that reaction that you know he would get, especially because of the nature of Royal Rumble, itās just built for that kind of thing. The buzz going into WrestleMania, thatās a period of time when you want every bit of buzz you can get. I could see that happening. But I just donāt see it happening in Chicago. Now watch, itāll fucking happen in Chicago.ā
