With the reports of CM Punk returning to WWE TV becoming even more creditable you can almost be certain that he will be allowed to vent some of his frustrations in the form of another infamous pipebomb promo. While like in 2011 will be WWE approved CM Punk will most likely have some range and ability to yet again break down that fourth wall to some extent. What makes this even more a possibility is the fact that he is going to be in his hometown of Chicago.

While no reports have confirmed this you have to assume that the magic of Vince McMahon played the main role in getting Punk to return if nothing else to at least finish his contract which ends in July and of course as we would like to believe to also prevent a mass riot or hijacking of the show by the hometown crowd.

Dave Meltzer said on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that CM Punk is expected to be at Monday’s RAW from Chicago. Meltzer wouldn’t say he’s 100% sure Punk will be there and really didn’t sound too sure of it but his source, who is reportedly a top WWE star, said it’s 100% certain.

Regarding plans for WrestleMania XXX, if Punk does return at RAW he will either replace Daniel Bryan in the match with Triple H or go into the WWE World Heavyweight Title match with Batista and Randy Orton. Punk likely isn’t winning the title unless he plans on signing a new contract in July and that impression wasn’t given.

Punk has been absent from WWE programming since the Raw following the Royal Rumble on Jan. 27. Meltzer reported Punk had legitimately left the event after telling Vince McMahon he was “going home.” By the following Wednesday, the official WWE website stopped advertising Punk for future events. The matter was publicly acknowledged by McMahon on Feb. 20 during a quarterly conference call to investors, with the the CEO replying to a query concerning his status: “He’s taking a sabbatical, let’s just put it that way.”

Hulk Hogan recently spoke with WWE.com about returning to WWE, hanging with Vince McMahon and more. Hogan also talked about how his return came about:

“Over the last couple years, there’ll be texts between Vince and I. “Happy birthday brother!” on August 24th, his birthday. Christmas, Thanksgiving. We’ll touch base like that. And then I guess the word got out that I was jobless. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I was thinking of going back to playing music or something. On a Tuesday, I was officially out of work. And Friday morning I was drinking my coffee and I hear my cell phone. And it was Triple H. “Hey brother, just checking on you.” I’m like, “Hey, dude, I’m just contemplating my navel here. I’m officially out of work, I’m unemployed.” And that started us talking. In my heart, I was hoping to come back here. I was hoping to put the period on the end of the sentence and it was the logical extension. It just made so much sense to come back.”
