CM Punk didn't make his WWE return at the
Royal Rumble last night and now the chances of him coming back to the company appear to be slimmer than ever. During an interview before Sunday's PPV,
RAW Tag Team Champion Seth Rollins was asked again about a possible match with Punk and believes it could be huge.
"It would not have to be a WrestleMania and as far as wanting to match? Yes, absolutely with CM Punk," Rollins said.
"If he’s going to come back and get into the ring, which is not something that he has been seemingly interested in since he returned — he seems to be very comfortable sitting behind the desk and talking about wrestling, being a fan again and then by all means, he should go ahead and do that," he continued.
Rollins went on to talk about Punk proving that he's more than just a critic and argued that they wouldn't necessarily have to meet at the Show of Shows as a match like this would be huge anywhere.
"I would love to be the guy to get in there and have the match and I think WrestleMania would be the proper stage for it, but I don’t think it has to happen at WrestleMania. I think that match is bigger than any one event and so if he were ever to come back, we could do it anytime, anyplace and it would sell out wherever."
It's a fair point but an in-ring return for the one-time Best in the World doesn't appear to be in the works so it could just be something that's going to remain a fantasy match for the time being.
