After CM Punk's indirect return to WWE, a lot has been rumoured about his in-ring return and relationships with the top WWE management. Triple H, who has been the Talent Vice-President for the company since 2013, is one of WWE's most vital cogs. After the announcement of his appearance in the WWE Backstage show, fans were heavily speculating on a face-off between CM Punk and Triple H. After a curious fan asked about Punk's presence on the upcoming show, a tweet from the WWE put all speculation to rest.
He will not be.

CM Punk's ugly exit from the company in 2014 had sparked a lot of reports and rumours about the turbulent relations between the superstar and the company. Lately, CM Punk had hinted at a WWE return. Punk had maintained that he could make a return to the company if they offered to pay him a big sum. Even Triple H entertained the idea of Punk returning by adding that the company is "always open for business."
CM Punk finally made his return to the company when he became a part of the weekly backstage show as a special analyst. CM Punk still does not have a deal with the WWE to be an in-ring performer. It is very unclear if the WWE megastar will ever make a return to the WWE ring.
