The Survivor Series PLE is just a month away. It will take place in Chicago (Punk’s Hometown). This has led the fans to wonder if he might make an appearance in the upcoming WWE event scheduled for November 25. Regarding this matter, he recently spoke to 670 The Score in Chicago in an interview.
He said jokingly, “They’re asking if I’m going to be there? I think it’s sold out. I think tickets are hard to get.” Then turning serious, he added, “I don’t want to burst anybody’s bubble. I’m kind of just sitting at home and enjoying this beautiful Chicago weather.”
Using multiple excuses, Punk denied his presence at Survivor Series. He also stated that his dog is injured, and he is currently taking care of him. He also said that he has canceled his plans so that he can tend to his dog, as traveling wouldn’t allow him to do that.
This may have been a no from Punk’s side. But there is still a minute chance that he might be there. Let’s find out why.
Is there actually hope for Punk’s return?
Though ‘The Second City Saint’ has said otherwise, fans are still hopeful that he might actually surprise the WWE Universe in Chicago. This is because Dave Meltzer recently released a significant statement regarding Punk’s return to the Stamford-based promotion.
