ROH Rumors: Ring Of Honor Reportedly Reaches Out To CM Punk For MSG Show

It’s been over four years since the last time former WWE Superstar CM Punk competed inside the squared circle, quitting the company and the business in general after the 2014 Royal Rumble. Despite this, Punk has remained a polarizing figure in the wrestling industry with fans still clamoring for his return to the ring. Punk, who has said that he’s finished with wrestling, of course ventured into the mixed martial arts world where he is now 0-2 after losing to Mike Jackson at UFC 225 back on June 9th.

Even though the multi-time WWE Champion has remained strong in his stance that he won’t wrestle again, that certainly has not stopped promotions from reaching out to him for appearances. According to F4WOnline, Ring Of Honor has reportedly reached out to Punk in an effort to procure him for the company’s debut at Madison Square Garden for the G1 Supercard with New Japan Pro Wrestling on April 6th, 2019 during WrestleMania weekend. At this time, it’s being said that Punk accepting any offer to appear is considered a “long shot”.

This comes after the rumor mill exploded over the possibility of CM Punk showing up at the big All In event in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois on September 1st after it was reported that he popped up backstage for the event’s press conference. (for more on that go here)

EA’s Take: I’ve been fairly vocal about my feelings on Punk and honestly, I couldn’t care less if he ever came back to wrestling. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be a cool moment as a fan, but I’m definitely not one of the people calling for it. Do I see it happening? Who the hell knows at this point? I’d say ROH did what they were supposed to do by at least trying to get him for such a big event. Trying to fill MSG is going to be a task for them, especially going head-to-head with NXT TakeOver the same night which we KNOW will deliver as it always does.
