NEW DELHI: CM Punk has not only made a triumphant return to WWE but is now eyeing membership in one of the company's top factions. Almost two months into his unexpected return, Punk appears to be making waves and is keen on solidifying his presence by aligning himself with a prominent group.
Despite a lukewarm reception from the likes of Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins on WWE TV, Punk's return has been welcomed by other members of the roster.
Now, it seems the former AEW star is ready to take his involvement to the next level by officially becoming part of a faction.
WWE currently boasts a variety of factions, providing Punk with several options. However, recent hints suggest that Punk has a particular interest in joining Damage CTRL.
Damage CTRL, while not actively recruiting, has caught Punk's attention. The revelation came through a comment Punk made on a recent Instagram post by Bayley. The post featured a picture of the entire Damage CTRL crew with a caption that read, "They said we won't. I bet we will." Seizing the opportunity, Punk responded in the comments, stating, "I sent in my application to join but haven’t heard anything yet."
The wrestling world is abuzz with speculation about how Punk's inclusion could reshape the dynamics of Damage CTRL. While the faction has not made any official statements regarding new recruits, Punk's interest has fans eagerly anticipating a potential union.
Both Punk and Bayley have been confirmed entrants into the men's and women's 2024 Royal Rumble matches, respectively. If Bayley emerges victorious, there could be a possibility of her sharing the same brand as Punk. The Role Model herself has hinted at challenging Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women's World Championship at WrestleMania 40 if circumstances align in her favor.
